Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs
Summary
Panasonic is outsourcing TV production to Skyworth, handing over manufacturing, marketing, and sales of Panasonic-branded TVs. Skyworth will lead regional sales with Panasonic providing expertise and joint development on top-end OLED models, while Panasonic will continue support through March 2026. This move reflects a broader industry shift toward contracted manufacturing as traditional electronics brands reduce in-house production.
