Strengthening Pakistan’s industrial self-reliance: Dawlance inaugurates advanced condenser manufacturing facility

The facility facilitates the production of domestic condensers in Pakistan's appliance manufacturing ecosystem

Dawlance, Pakistan’s leading home appliance manufacturer and a subsidiary of the global Beko Group, has inaugurated a greenfield condenser manufacturing facility developed in partnership with White Eagle Engineering Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Optimise Engineering Core Pvt. Ltd.

The initiative marks a major milestone in Dawlance’s localisation strategy and represents a significant advancement in Pakistan’s refrigeration component manufacturing capabilities.

Developed through a collaborative partnership with White Eagle Engineering and international technical partner Tatato, the facility addresses a critical gap in Pakistan’s appliance manufacturing ecosystem by enabling the domestic production of condensers, highly technical and quality-sensitive components that have historically been fully imported.

The inauguration was attended by Mr Umar Ahsan Khan, Chief Executive Officer, Dawlance, along with senior members of the company’s engineering, technical, and development teams.

The delegation conducted a comprehensive technical review of manufacturing operations, quality control systems, and production standards, which have been established to meet international benchmarks through close collaboration between Dawlance Pakistan, Beko Türkiye, and White Eagle Engineering.

The achievement follows several months of intensive joint development between Dawlance and Beko Türkiye’s Engineering and R&D teams and White Eagle Engineering’s technical specialists.

The locally manufactured condensers have been designed, tested, and validated by Pakistani engineers, achieving quality, performance, and finish standards that exceed imported alternatives. Only a few years ago, this component was widely considered too complex to manufacture locally, an assumption this project has decisively challenged.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr Umar Ahsan Khan, CEO, Dawlance, quoted:

At Dawlance, localisation is not only a strategic priority but a long-term commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s industrial capability. The inauguration of White Eagle Engineering reflects the progress that can be achieved when local engineering expertise is developed in line with international quality standards.

By supporting the local manufacturing of critical components such as evaporators and condensers, we are helping build a more resilient supply chain, reducing import dependence, and enabling sustainable growth for the appliance industry in Pakistan.

 

Currently, approximately 75% of the component’s value is locally produced, with further localisation planned in subsequent phases to reduce import dependency even further.

The initiative delivers strategic localisation of a critical refrigeration component, improved quality and reliability, foreign exchange savings, knowledge transfer, workforce skill development, and expansion of Pakistan’s industrial manufacturing base, while also creating future export potential as capabilities scale.

This partnership reflects Dawlance’s commitment to “Progress Today, Preserve Tomorrow”, advancing modern manufacturing capability, strengthening local industry, and supporting sustainable industrialisation by shifting value creation closer to the point of consumption, thereby contributing to reduced Scope 3 emissions.

The successful inauguration reinforces confidence in "Made in Pakistan" refrigeration components and demonstrates the country’s ability to build globally competitive industrial capability.
