In response to the high demand of its products in the Nigerian
markets and for the purpose of dominating the Nigerian market with its high technology
electrical appliances, Panasonic, one of the leading household electronic companies
has announced plans to open a manufacturing factory in the country.
Aside,
the company has promised to henceforth offer free after sales services to all
its customers for a period of twelve months provided they still use them.
Panasonic
manager in Nigerian, Mr. Harish Ram explained that the move is part of the company’s
strategy to take over Nigeria’s electronic market.
Harish Ram stated
this in Abuja recently at the commissioning of the Abuja showroom of Panasonic
located along Ahmadu Bello Way in Abuja.
“The company is currently
undergoing series of repositioning to be able to meet the international demands
of its millions of customers. We are now focusing on after sales services and
provision of spare parts into the markets for easy accessibility,” he stated.
According
to him, the company has planned to commence training of more Nigerian electrical
engineers in Malysia to be able to handle its manufacturing machines when the
factory takes off.
“We have planned to establish an assembly plant in
Nigeria soon as the market expanded. We will continue to be creative and I want
to assure you that Panasonic has complied with the quality control management
and control set by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON).”
