Xiaomi, the global consumer electronics and smartphone giant, has partnered with Select Technologies (Pvt) Limited (SELECT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Link Communication Limited (AIRLINK), as its manufacturing partner for Xiaomi smartphones in Pakistan. Xiaomi recently became the world’s second-largest vendor by handset shipments in the second quarter of 2021.

In the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi shipped 53.1 million units, accounting for 17% of the global market. In the coming quarters, Xiaomi aspires to be the world’s leading mobile phone manufacturer. AIRLINK is one of Pakistan’s leading smartphone makers, retailers, and distributors, with all of the main worldwide brands as partners in the sector.

AIRLINK just completed Pakistan’s largest private sector initial public offering (IPO) and is the first company in this sector to do so. Since the beginning of 2021, AIRLINK has had a state-of-the-art mobile phone manufacturing plant that has been working with prominent global companies.
