Addressing the function, Walton TV’s CBO Engineer Mostafa Nahid Hossain said, Walton started TV export to Europe in 2019. In the last two years, the export of Walton TV to the European market was about US$3 million. But this year, Walton has received orders for exporting US$2.44 million worth of TV in a day to the European market. It’s really a great milestone. This success will also play a remarkable role in achieving Walton's 'Vision- Go Global 2030', which means turning Walton brand into one of the best global electronics brands by 2030.

Walton’s Business Head in Europe Engineer Tawseef Al Mahmood said Walton TV’s highest standard, high picture quality, reasonable price, European standard design, and advanced features have resulted in the rapid market expansion in the 12 European countries, including Germany, Austria, Denmark, Slovakia, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Croatia, Italy, and Romania. As a result, Walton posted 10 times higher exports of its TV to Europe in 2020 than the previous year. And the total TV exports to Europe in 2020 were exceeded in the first five months of this year (January to May).

Walton IBU’s Vice-President in Romania Syed Al Imran said Walton started television export to Romania under its own brand name in this year’s April, along with the TV export to Europe as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Walton TV has been able to attract the attention of Romanian buyers in a very short time.
