Skyworth’s background
One of the largest receiver
manufacturers in the world
is Skyworth. Skyworth
Group Co. Ltd. is one of the
leading manufacturers of TV
sets in China. The company
started into the satellite
receiver research as early
as 1997 and in 2002 a
subsidiary was established
under the name of

success of an OEM is measured by the
quality of their products. So what makes
Skyworth so successfull in the OEM busi-
ness? Why do more and more big and

world start to cooperate with Skyworth?
And why are these customers all so satis-
fied with Skyworth? It is exactly for these
reasons that we decided to pay them a
visit in Nanshan’s Hi-Tech Park in the city
of Shenzhen in southern China.
Skyworth can be found in a very impres-
sive-looking futuristic building. This is
where we met Vice General Manager
David Ken. On the company’s homepage
we saw that Skyworth manufactures TV’s
and other products besides receivers. So
naturally, our first question to David Ken
is how is it all divided. He explains, “If you
look at it from a sales figure point of view,
then 70% of it is TV’s, 20% is receivers
and the remaining 10% falls on the other
products.” But as David Ken continues,
it gets more interesting: “If you look at

In recent years, Skyworth Digital kept its
first rank in China and provided over 8
million cable STBs since 2004, occupying
20% of the domestic STB market.“

addition to ANGA, CABSAT, CCBN, CSTB, IBC, SCAT and
