Inside Hisense Visual Technology’s journey through televisions and display technology

Hisense traces its manufacturing roots to the Qingdao No. 2 Radio Factory established in 1969, with television production beginning soon afterwards.

How Hisense Visual Technology developed

The Hisense name emerged in the 1990s, and the group expanded internationally across televisions, appliances and electronics. Its core television business listed in Shanghai in 1997 and later became known as Hisense Visual Technology.

Hisense Visual Technology in 2026

By 2026, Hisense Visual Technology focused on televisions, display products and related visual technologies within the wider Hisense group.

The company has direct South African relevance: Hisense established operations in South Africa in 1996 and later developed local manufacturing, making the brand part of the country’s consumer-electronics market rather than only an imported label.
