Who assembles Continental Edison TV
Continental Edison televisions are quite famous in Europe. But it is very difficult to find information about the TVs themselves. And many people wonder who makes Continental Edison televisions. The brand itself is very old and has changed several owners during its existence.
Continental Edison Brand history
- Year of foundation 1882
- 1881-1958 as part of General Electric
- 1958-1971 owned by Alcatel

- 1997-2002 owned by AIT YALA K & S

We can say that the company stopped producing televisions and other home appliances on its own in 1971, Continental Edison brand televisions were produced at Thomson facilities. And since 2002, the companies that owned the brand began to produce TVs at other companies under the outsourcing scheme. For example, there is now http://www.continentaledison.com/ of Richmaster Technology Hong Kong Headquarters, which produced Continental Edison televisions in 2004-2005.
Who manufactures Continental Edison TVs from 2011 to the present
After the brand was bought by the French group Casino in 2011, the televisions continued to be produced under an outsourcing scheme. The main producer of Continental Edison branded TVs is Vestel, a Turkish concern, with Chinese companies supplying the components for the TVs. Also, some TV models can be ordered for assembly from Chinese firms. Continental Edison TVs are also assembled in Romania and Poland. The televisions are sold through cdiscount.com, an electronic casino store and through Amazon. The company’s current website is https://www.continentaledison.fr/, but there is very little information on it.
Continental Edison televisions
Since the company itself does not develop TVs, it simply chooses an OEM assembler who develops and then manufactures the TV under different brands. The name of the TV model is invented, and then it starts to be assembled from components. A distinctive feature of such TVs, the Android operating system, the range of TVs consists of a small number of models. The country of manufacture is not specified anywhere, this information is not on the sticker on the back of the TV, and this information is not in the documentation of the TV. The cost of such TVs can be much cheaper than similar TVs of other brands.
The quality of the TVs may vary, depending on the suppliers of components for the assembly, there may also be problems with the repair.
