Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR has announced the establishment of a local smartphone manufacturing facility in Pakistan, marking a major milestone in the brand’s long-term commitment to the country. The initiative is being launched in partnership with Golden Connect, HONOR’s local manufacturing and distribution partner.
The state-of-the-art manufacturing unit will be located at Sunder Industrial Estate, Lahore, and is scheduled to begin production in April 2026. The facility will operate using modern, technology-driven manufacturing processes and will strictly adhere to HONOR’s global standards for quality, compliance, and sustainability.
This strategic move reflects HONOR’s ambition to significantly expand its footprint in Pakistan. By shifting to local manufacturing, the company aims to achieve faster time-to-market, improved supply-chain efficiency, more competitive pricing, and greater localization tailored to Pakistani consumers. The initiative is also expected to support Pakistan’s growing electronics manufacturing ecosystem by creating new jobs, enhancing technical skills, and encouraging industrial growth.
