Unitra

Although the brand operated as an association of manufacturers, it had its own R & D Department. Unitra's equipment was also fabricated for the world's leading manufacturers such as the Japanese company Sanyo. Sanyo SXM-80 column speakers can be named, among others, as the result of this cooperation. In the areas where the brand lacked an adequate technological base, it entered into cooperation with manufacturers from other countries. Radio Cassette Recorder Boombox Unitra-Sankei TCR-101 makes an example of such cooperation with the Japanese enterprise Sankei. Products of various manufacturers operating under the common brand name were available in all the countries of Central and Eastern Europe including Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the Baltic States – Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. In 1961, as a result of a merger of two smaller manufacturers’ associations, one organization named the Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering Industry Association UNITRA was founded. Throughout the whole period of its operation more than 60 different enterprises were members of the Association.
