Uniview, a global pioneer in IP video surveillance, said its manufacturing base has officially opened in the Economic Development Zone in Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China.

In only five months, Uniview moved and re-organised the manufacturing, logistics and supply chain business to the new base, said a statement from the company.

Occupying 100,000-sq-m of floor area and 70,000-sq-m of construction area, the base is now ready for mass production, it said.

The output value was over $14.5 million during the trial production in September, and it will soon reach the estimated production capacity, it added.

Additionally, Uniview together with China Transinfo Company, plans to invest $156 million into the new manufacturing base. In the future, the base will be able to produce more than 10 million pieces of high-end video surveillance products per year, valued at over $1 billion.

On November 16, Uniview opened a new branch office in South Korea. The office, located at 1203, Kolon Digital Tower Millart II, 31 Digital-ro 30-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul, represents the company's strong commitment to the Korean market and rapid growth in South Korea, said a statement.

The opening of Uniview's Korean office is the culmination of several years of resounding success. With the branch office, Uniview is able to provide more efficient, localised service and support, and strengthen relationships with customers.

More investment will be put into the Korean market and human resources, including sales, pre-sales, and after-sales teams, will be increased to meet the demands of both the market and the customers.

Hermit Zhang, chief executive officer, Uniview, said: “The manufacturing base is the first step for a higher objective and the Korean office is a significant milestone for our company’s overseas market.”
“With a stronger manufacturing foundation in Tongxiang, our company will explore new logistics models for the international market, break the trade barrier and fully accelerate international market development,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
