Hitachi Kokusai Electric has announced that its independent subsidiary company in Turkey and a dedicated 5000 sqm manufacturing facility in the Tuzla free trade zone near Istanbul will cater to the requirements of its Middle East customers in terms of both supply of new solutions and after-sales support.
Cemal Yilmaz, General Manager, at Hitachi Kokusai Electric Turkey said the “purpose of establishing Hitachi Kokusai Turkey was “to expand our broadcast equipment and broadcast system business into the Middle East, Africa, Russia and CIS regions”.
“Specifically, we will build relationships with relevant local companies and customers, and create sales, maintenance, and service infrastructures, growing and enhancing our broadcast equipment and system businesses throughout these dynamic and strategically important regions.
Hitachi Kokusai Turkey will design, develop and manufacture mobile antenna systems, controllers and SATCOM components, which are integrated into customised DSNG (Digital satellite news gathering) vehicles, special purpose vehicles or Outside Broadcasting trucks that the company designs and manufactures within its facilities. Also, Hitachi Kokusai Turkey builds and integrates earth stations for satellite communications, terrestrial sites and builds complete production studios to create turnkey solutions for their customers.
At our in-house facilities, we design, develop and manufacture our own state-of-the-art equipment and components, SNG antenna systems, vehicle-based coach-building systems and system integration services, commented Yilmaz.
We can convert and create vehicle bodies of all sizes, ranging from small and medium size vans for News SNG vehicles to massive articulated trailers for Outside Broadcasting mobile studios (OB Vans). We will use our new company in Turkey to grow and expand our global video and wireless network, business, with a view to expanding our broadcast equipment business into the EMEA market using broadcast equipment system integration services, added Yilmaz.
