Chinese Mobile Phone Company Tecno Explains Why It Only Does Business In Africa by LordReed(m): 9:22am On Jun 19, 2013 |
The company started in 2006 in Hong Kong with our first research and development centre in Shanghai, China. For two years, our business focused on the South Asia market. After studying the markets in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America, we found out that Africa would be the most lucrative market for us. We began operations here in 2008 before eventually stopping our business in Asia to exclusively focus on Africa. Today, Tecno does business in Africa only. We want to be the mobile king of Africa. The continent receives a lot of imports but the products are not always modelled to fit demand here. We ensure our products meet the local demand because they are solely produced for the African market. We are present in 12 countries in East, West and Central Africa where we currently control an average of 20% market share in each of the countries. This year we are going to explore the Southern and Northern Africa markets starting with South Africa and Egypt. We are also going to strengthen relations with technology giants both in manufacturing and service provision to ensure quality in products and customer experience. We have no option but to have the best products. You can’t be a failure in Africa and go somewhere else. We have to make it here. Source |

More: We are proud to say that some of the Tecno phones are already ‘made in Africa’. We started a plant in Addis Ababa two year ago and it is doing well so far. We chose Ethiopia because it is unique, looking at it from a strategic point of view. We found Ethiopia’s duty structure to be more attractive. We eventually plan to move our entire production to Africa since this is the only market we serve. We will start with establishing manufacturing plants in Kenya and Nigeria. This will depend highly on a lot of factors like the customs structure and government support we receive. |

Lexusgs: Well the government could give them a quid pro quo ie in lieu of power infrastructure they could have massive import waivers or 0% tax. If I was the president or a state governor that's what I'd do. 1 Like |

^ Wait no longer. I'm here to put your mind at ease: Tecno phones are of poor quality and mediocre specs. They could also be radioactive and a possible cause of cancer they are an insult to Africans who deserve better. I urge the International Trade Organization to look into this perceived insult of African consumers by Tecno. Flame suit on 1 Like |

Techno only does business in Africa because they knew they wouldn't make it elsewhere. If they goto Europe, Nokia and co will give them the boot. Should they attempt American market, Apple will use them as toothbrush. Samsung and HTC had already chased them out of their home continent of Asia. So the only other option is to come to backward Africa, where low budget products are in high demand. That's the real story here folks, pay no heed to their other lousy excuses. 4 Likes |
