TELEVES MIDDLE EAST FZE
Quality, reliability
Televes Middle East FZE is the subsidiary of Televes-Spain, a worldwide leader in
the manufacturing of equipment for the reception and distribution of TV signal
TELEVES-SPAIN was set up in 1958, just as TV in Spain
began its transmissions. From a small factory unit employing 10
staff, it has grown to become the Televes Corporation with over
800 employees, being present in over 80 countries, including 20
industrial and subsidiary companies and holding over 53 national
and international patents.
Despite all these changes, the basic principles of the
Corporation remain the same, Quality, Productivity and Research
as the mainstays of our production activity.
Televes is keen on setting high criteria in quality and
reliability. Televes guarantees the reliability of all its products
through its quality tests, medium life essays and theoretical
calculations on strength, all of these done at our own factory in
Northern Spain, where Televes products come from.
In 1994, an independent quality body, AENOR, conceded us
with the certificate of a registered firm by the ISO9001, EN29001
and UNE6601 standards. These certificates are still in force and
are renewed by periodical audits.
In today´s global market and in such a competitive segment,
a Spanish manufacturer could only strengthen its position by
heavily investing in automated manufacturing, introducing
computerisation as a management tool in our industrial,
commercial and administrative operations.
Our robotics department has developed flexible manufacturing
lines that allow us to rapidly respond to the different demands of
the many markets that we serve, maintaining our extremely high
levels of quality and with very reduced lead times.
Televes was a pioneer when we created an R+D department in
the 60´s. This department is still fundamental in the development
of all our new products. Today, Televes annually invests more
than $10 million in R&D activities. We also own patents, utility
models and industrial models. Furthermore, our products are
based on in-house designs and patents.
The R&D activities give Televes a preferential position in the
development of new technology, such as, for example, digital
30
telecommunications. The bet for digitalisation, and in particular
Digital TV and HDTV, of all transmission methods, will mean a
total change in the signal treatment process with the consequent
product complexity and design. Televes has been investing and
preparing for the arrival of Digital TV and HDTV for a long time
developing a range of products suitable to deliver Digital and
High Definition quality.
All of the above has allowed Televes to be one of the only
60 companies listed in the prestigious publication of “Leading
Brands of Spain” that only includes outstanding brands with a
sustained international reputation and whose goal is to remain on
the foreign markets.
The presence of Televes in the Middle East goes back long
in time, firstly via distributors and wholesalers supplied directly
from Spain and since 1999, when this subsidiary was established,
with “local” support. From our offices in the Jebel Ali Free Zone
– Dubai – we provide Technical, Sales and Logistical Support
to our customers in the Middle East. With a very experienced
team of technicians/engineers and large storage facilities
Televes Middle East FZE is the ideal partner for all your needs
related to Satellite and Terrestrial TV, IP services, Fibre Optics
Distribution and so on.

to the reception and distribution of TV signal, domestic and

A/V wireless senders, Headend Equipment, Multiswitches, etc.
