Pakistan Communications Industries is an export-oriented company, manufacturing high quality VIVO-II brand telephone sets. Initially, it was a joint venture between Panasian Group, Nera ASA of Norway and Telecom Foundation. Presently it is owned by Telecom Foundation and Panasian Group. The company was incorporated as a private limited company in 1995. Backed by technical expertise of Nera ASA and approved by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, VIVO-II brand telephone sets are a product of Norwegian design, meeting CCITT standards and offering exceptional quality.With the latest microchip technology, the entire circuit of the set is microprocessor controlled, thus successfully avoiding all mechanical switches, such as the hook switch and the volume controls.Therefore, the design concept of the telephone set is geared towards achieving high standards of reliability and durability.
The factory is located in Lahore. It is spread over an area of 3750 square meters. The construction started in June 1995 and the commercial production commenced in May 1996. The factory is equipped to produce in excess of 200,000 telephone sets per annum on a single shift basis. The production facilities are planned for ample expansion, as and when required, with respect to both the area and number of shifts.
Pakistan Communications Industries’ strong relationships with its customers including Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited guarantees a cutting edge over potential competition and a steady stream of orders, thus promising long-term viability of the company. Business partnership with other established bulk consumers and a strong marketing drive aimed at large multinational companies engaged in installation of telephone exchanges on turn-key basis, has further strengthened market share.
In order to diversify, the management is investigating allied areas of manufacturing like caller’s line identification, both as a stand alone unit and built-in facility, cellular phones and PABX’s etc. Pakistan Communications Industries, in accordance with the market demand, will introduce new product lines. This strategy is expected to keep the company ahead of competition at all times.
