The newest entrant in the market for tablets and eBook readers – dominated by the likes of Apple, Amazon and Samsung – is none other than the Pakistani military. The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra, has started up a new commercial venture with a Chinese company to strengthen the national economy.
The first three products produced by PAC are a computing tablet, a notebook and an eBook reader.
A press release issued at the launch of the project on December 29 notes that “for the joint production of JF-17, PAF had established sufficient facilities which are appropriate for the production of both defence and commercial products.”
The PAC official, told that the joint venture with the Chinese company Innavtek had taken off with the initial offering of three products. “We plan to expand this in the future.”
The official said that while PAC would manufacture the products, marketing was Innavtek’s responsibility.
He said the products were initially being marketed in Rawalpindi, but modalities needed to be finalised so it could expand to other cities including Lahore and Karachi. “We will get in touch with courier companies to see if we can reach a deal to transport them,” he said.
The competitively priced products, he said, have several benefits because they are being manufactured in Kamra. “It comes with a joint one-year warranty of PAC and Innavtek. Because PAC is producing it, it will ensure quality. We will also provide backup support,” the official said. In the first stage of this venture, PAC will manufacture the products locally but there are plans for an exchange of personnel to be trained in China and Pakistan respectively.
PAC’s plan to strengthen the national economy via its new commercial venture means it has to capitalise on current trends.

bhai, dekhain baat yeh hai k Pakistan aik developing country hai. matlab pakistan abi taraqi ki taraf ja raha hai. china developed country hai, matlab taraqi yafta mulk.
ab agar pakistan china se help nahi le ga to kis se le ga? america se, aur america kabhi pakistan ka dost ni ban skta. ab taraqi karne k liye help hcahiye hoti hai, is liye china se help li jati hai. waisay aap ne jo kaha k har cheez china ki hai, woh baat sahi hai magar sari dunya main almost ahr tarha ki cheez china made h hai.
