Walton achieves milestone with us-bound motherboard exports

Walton has begun exporting motherboards (PCB and PCBA) to the United States for the first time, marking a new milestone for Bangladesh's high-tech manufacturing sector.

World-standard motherboards will be used in advanced security devices for gunshot detection and emergency response systems manufactured in the US. Walton is initially shipping more than 2,500 units, valued at around Tk2.5 million, to Wisconsin-based SafePro Technologies Inc. Walton already exports "Made in Bangladesh" electronics to over 50 countries.

A ceremony was held on 15 September at Walton's corporate office in Dhaka to mark the occasion. Fayez Ahmed Taiyeb, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser and head of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology, attended as the chief guest. ICT Division Secretary Shish Hayder Chowdhury also attended as a special guest.
