Haier opens factory in Enugu for smartphones, TVS, others

The $20 million Haier factory in Enugu has begun operations.

The high-tech manufacturing and assembly facility is producing and assembling smartphones, computers, smart boards, Android TVs, medical technology and renewable-energy products.

The facility is expected to create jobs, provide technical training and strengthen local manufacturing capacity in the state.

Governor Peter Mbah inaugurated the facility in February, 2026.

Reacting to take-off of the factory, the Governor wrote on X: ‘’Enugu is no longer just a place where products are bought and consumed. We are building a state where high-tech products are made, assembled and exported from.

‘’The Haitech Haier Global factory is one of the most significant business investments our state has hosted, bringing the production and assembly of technology, electronics and energy products to Enugu.

‘’Beyond the factory floor, this investment is creating direct and indirect jobs, providing technical training for our young people and expanding the productive capacity of our state.

‘’Our commitment to creating a conducive and attractive operating environment for businesses remains a pillar of our job creation drive. When businesses invest and grow in Enugu, opportunities grow for our people.’’

The factory with an annual production capability of around 200,000 ICT and electronic devices, employs over 100 to 200 local workers initially, focusing on skills transfer and technical training for youths.
