With the start of summer, Walton is conducting its air-conditioner production process in full swing to meet the growing demand of air-conditioner during the sweltering summer heat.
This year, the local brand hops to mark 100 per cent growth in the sales of its air-conditioner than the previous year’s sales.
Earlier, the imported AC met the local demands. But now, Walton is producing world-class high tech AC in Bangladesh, saving huge amount of foreign currency.
The annual demands of AC in Bangladesh is nearly 1.5 lakh pieces whereas the annual production capacity of AC at Walton Hi-Tech Industries is about 3 lakh, almost doubled of the prevailing local demands.
At Walton Hi-Tech Industries at Chandra in Gazipur, the company is producing AC with various capacities, including 1 ton, 1.5 ton and 2 ton between Tk32,000 and Tk55,700.
At present, Walton brand AC secured the top position in the country’s electronics market as the local brand is manufacturing environment-friendly and energy saving AC at affordable prices by ensuring proper BTU (British Thermal Unit) with the use of latest world-class technology.
On certain condition, Walton for the first time in Bangladesh is offering six months replacement guarantee for its AC and three-year service warranty.
Apart from catering to the local demands, Walton brand’s AC is also exporting to different countries for its high quality.
It was also learnt that the local brand is also going to apply new technology named ‘Anti-corrosive hydrophilic golden colour fin’ at its AC condenser unit whereas such technology is not available in other brands. This feature will enhance durability and operative life of the AC’s heat exchanger, even at salty air environment, sunlight dust, wind or harsh conditions.
Moreover, the local brand is also applying ‘AAA’ technology in its AC to reduce the electricity consumption. Other special features of Walton brand’s AC are—use of 100 per cent copper tube, dual mode heating and cooling option, digital display, air swing and perfect refrigerant amount and instantly adjust the temperature of the room.
During the past several years, the sales of AC were beyond the company’s expectation, he said adding thus, the company is planning to make more investment in this sector.
Engineer Md Moeenul Haque, executive director (R&D department) of Walton, said the ‘Golden Fin’ technology contains an anti-corrosive and rust protective hydrophilic coating on the surface of the heat exchanger of condenser, which resulted in increasing rust and corrosion resistance property of condenser fin, extending the heat exchanger performance of the condenser and the operative life of condenser for a much longer time period.
