New Partner-Operated Plant Highlights Company’s Strategic
Commitment to Emerging Markets
JAKARTA, Oct. 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has invested in a partner-operated production facility in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, dedicated exclusively to manufacturing LG air conditioners. As part of the company’s strategic efforts to reinforce its Global South strategy, the new facility will enhance LG’s presence in Indonesia, help strengthen its supply chain and serve as a hub for air conditioning innovation.
Coinciding with LG’s 35th anniversary in Indonesia, the Bekasi facility spans 32,000 square meters and commenced operation last month, starting with residential air conditioner production. In its first year, the factory is expected to produce approximately 700,000 indoor and outdoor units, with plans to double capacity in the near future.
All products manufactured at the facility will adhere to LG’s stringent global quality standards and embody the exceptional energy efficiency for which the company is renowned. Implementation of LG’s Korean Quality Control system – applied at all LG production sites globally – will support consistent performance and long-lasting reliability.
The facility also supports the Indonesian government’s initiative to harmonize Minimum Energy Performance Standards with those of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Furthermore, LG’s residential solutions employ R32 refrigerant,1 underscoring the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Building on LG’s advanced technologies with localized production systems, the partner-operated plant is designed to deliver solutions optimized for the Indonesian market. In line with government policy on Domestic Component Level (TDKN2), LG aims to domestically source or manufacture more than 40 percent of key components used in production at Bekasi, contributing to local self-sufficiency and bolstering the supply chain. The plant will also create jobs, stimulate the regional economy and promote knowledge-sharing in air conditioning technology. These efforts will drive new growth opportunities for LG while advancing its goal of becoming a top-tier global HVAC provider.
LG has already played an important role in Indonesia’s industrial and social development through local manufacturing, sales and R&D. With facilities in Tangerang and Bekasi supplying both the domestic and regional markets, as well as a recently established R&D subsidiary, the company continues to create employment, facilitate knowledge transfer and support national industrial growth.
Now, through investment in the new partner-operated plant in Bekasi, LG will further expand production capacity and job creation, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth and community well-being. This move also reflects LG’s broader Global South strategy, which extends across R&D, manufacturing, sales and maintenance, while sustaining growth in North America and Europe. By establishing manufacturing plants in key markets such as Brazil, India and Thailand, LG is enhancing its flexibility to adapt to shifting global conditions.
“The new partner-operated facility in Indonesia underscores the tremendous progress we are making in advancing our Global South strategy,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “By strengthening local production capacity, we can better provide advanced air solutions that meet the needs of customers in Indonesia and surrounding markets, while driving growth across the region.”

Company Forms Community of Cooperation to Conduct
Comprehensive Research into HVAC Solutions for Tropical Regions
SEOUL, July 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), King Saud University (KSU), Pusan National University (PNU) and Shaker Group (Shaker) met and discussed the aspects of joint cooperation in the academic and research fields including the establishment of a tropical test site for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions in Saudi Arabia. Working together with Shaker – the Saudi Arabian market leader in HVAC – and its university partners, LG aims to drive the development of innovative temperature control systems for tropical climates.
In 2024, under the auspices of the Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (CAHR), LG opened labs in the United States, Europe and China to create and test cold-climate heat pump technologies. The planned Saudia Arabian laboratory will be the company’s first facility dedicated to accelerating HVAC solutions for regions with tropical climates. Findings from the research conducted at the new lab will be presented to the relevant regional academic societies by KSU and PNU. The results of research projects undertaken at the consortium’s Alaska-based lab were shared at AHR Expo 2025 in Orlando, Florida, earlier this year.
At the Saudia Arabian test facility, LG aims to collect valuable “real-world” data by operating and assessing a variety of solutions tailored for tropical conditions. Each participating party will have specific duties to perform. KSU, one of the Middle East’s most renowned universities, will provide a suitable test site environment and, in collaboration with PNU, take responsibility for conducting studies and analyzing data. LG and PNU already have a strong relationship and have been working together in South Korea to research core HVAC technologies, such as high-efficiency heat exchangers. Shaker, a trusted partner to LG for many years, will offer its invaluable support via system installation and device setup monitoring.
Once operational, the new facility will be used to thoroughly examine the performance and reliability of LG’s upcoming HVAC products, including the Multi V– an intelligent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution designed specifically to handle hot temperatures – and various wall-mounted residential air conditioners. LG is diligently working to develop these HVAC products and aims to complete them in the near future. Additionally, the company plans to utilize the site for testing AI engine features tailored to tropical climates.
“This exciting new collaboration will help LG to further its leadership in HVAC innovations designed for tropical climates,” said Jin Sim-won, head of Advanced R&D Division at the LG ES Company. “The data and insights we gain from the tropical region will help us deliver more efficient, intelligent and reliable solutions tailored to the world’s hotter regions.”

Hallo, I bought a 55un74006LB smart tv in Italy. It seems not to have usb recording capabilities, according to the information on the italian website, but the UK site declare it has. I think it's the same product with the same functions, so how can I turn the live tv and usb recording on? I think I found the options in the service menu but I cannot change the values. Any suggestion?

This is one of LG's Smart Web OS TV's and I understand you can record to a USB stick/hard drive.
I wondered if anyone knows how many channels you can record at one time?
Also does anyone know if there is any info available on using the PVR feature. i.e. can you record from the program menu etc.
Many thanks.
