| dc.description.abstract | Founded in 1977, WHIPLC started its production with refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and
compressors since early 2008. Since then, the organization has expanded its product line to include
televisions, home appliances, and other electrical items. Walton & Marcel have established themselves
as the leading and most reliable brands in Bangladesh's Electrical and Electronics (E&E) sector. Their
success can be attributed to their robust manufacturing capabilities, high-quality products, competitive
pricing, extensive market reach, and effective after-sales support. As a result, both brands have swiftly
gained a substantial market share and are acknowledged as leading players in Bangladesh's E&E
sector. WHIPLC’s product range includes freezers, air conditioners, compressors, televisions, and both
frost and non-frost refrigerator. The conglomerate sector in Bangladesh is expanding quickly,
paralleling the rise in the availability of automobiles, home appliances, electronics, and mobile phones.
This internship report examines the conglomerate sector, with particular attention to Walton’s role as a
multifaceted provider of a range of products and services, rather than focusing on a single product.
Walton is a contemporary global brand known for its advanced Research and Innovation (R&I) centers,
producing electronics, cars, appliances, and other products. The production is managed through
several subsidiaries operating under the Walton group headquarters in Bangladesh. Walton runs 22
production facilities across over 700 acres and employs over 30,000 people, with a yearly production
capacity of 10 million units. The company operates as a major player in the industry, renowned for its
ability to produce electrical and electronic products at the lowest cost while upholding high standards
in terms of quality, design, and innovation. WHIPLC’s manufacturing facility and headquarters are
located in Chandra, Kaliakoir, Gazipur, Bangladesh. This site is considered one of the most state of the-art manufacturing plants in both South Asia and Bangladesh. Utilizing cutting-edge technology and
industry expertise, Walton creates innovative solutions that contribute to a more sustainable,
environmentally friendly, and progressive society. The manufacturing site spans approximately
5,000,000 square feet and consists of 19 buildings and sheds. The final section of the report includes
my conclusions and key insights gained from the internship. | en_US |
