RIZ (company)
RIZ, also as RIZ-Odašiljači is a Croatian electronics company headquartered in Zagreb. It was founded in 1948 as Radio Industrija Zagreb.[1] It began manufacturing radios, gramophones, television sets, electrical components (transistors, integrated circuits, capacitors) as well as military transmission devices.[2][3] Currently, it only manufactures transmitters, antennas and electronic electricity meters. They manufactured the first TV in Yugoslavia, TV 101, from a licence by Philips in 1955.[4]
Recent developments
Their transmitters are used, among others, by the BBC, South Korean Government and national broadcaster Korean Broadcasting System and the US army.[5]
A joint-venture with the Ethiopian government for the construction of a factory was planned but was scrapped as late as 2014.[6]
