Who makes what for whom?
 

Hi all.

Does anyone have any sites that tell us who make which components for which
manufacturer. i.e.. Panasonic make screens for Toshiba, Fujitsu for
Panasonic etc.

Particularly interested in the low end of the market BUSH, DAEWOO etc.

Cheers

A lot of the Bush, Alba etc is made by Beko - a turkish concern



****ing crap too

The Thomson group factories supply 50% of their TV components & tubes output
to other manufacturers.

Lots of stuff made by Orion - Hungarian I beleive, part owned by JVC and
assembler of the Vision plasma.

I'm very happy with the Alba 114 Dvd player I bought a while back.

....I thought Beko was a Philips "offshoot"?

branded plasma which uses a Samsung panel IIRC

Alba DVD players are Chinese. There are a million different model numbers
depending on what the factory feels like churning out that week.

The TVs are made in the same Turkish factories as half the other sub-£200
sets on the market, though.

Indeed Vinny, I'm not sure what percentage of the world's DVD players are
manufactured in Guangdong in one of 3 factories (in Guangdong a factory is
basically a town/small city such is the size of its workforce and ouput) but
I imagine it to be in the regioon of 60 - 70%.

Even the likes of Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, Denon etc are manufacturing their
low end machines in Guangdong these days, albeit to Japanese specced designs
(often incorporating little more than tarted up GUIs on tried and tested
chipsets found in -no-name brands).

The TVs are made in the same Turkish factories as half the other sub-£200
sets on the market, though.

As I understand it the same thing is happening as in China with the DVD
players. A lot of 'branded' TVs at the low end are subcontracted to Beko,
especially those brands that are now homeless, once established
manufacturers and little more than a badge (Grundig, Tatung, Nokia,
Telefunken etc)

Beko might make sets for someone but the Turkish company that
specialises in making sets for other brands and not marketing its own
brand outside Turkey is Vestel and they are the biggest tv producer in
europe by a long way producing sets for alba group, philips, thomson,
jvc, sanyo, sharp, hitachi, akai, matsui, proline, toshiba and
numerous others.

www.vestel.com

their chassis's are philips derived designs and they use mainly
philips/lg tubes.

Performance may not be state of the art but the philips chassis is
basically reliable and if you can put up with the picture and sound
performance they are no worse than other brands for reliability. I
suppose their simplicity goes in their favour in this regard.

Probably won't be long before Panasonic start selling vestel sets. In
fact come to think of it they already are as they own JVC and some
JVCs are made by Vestel.

Unusually Sony make all their own tubes.

A Sanyo HiFi VCR has parts by Sanyo, Sony, and Toshiba in it amongst others
