Since its establishment in 1958, LG Electronics (LGE) has been a consistent leader in the
Korean electronics industry. The Company's innovative steps and practical technology
have enabled LGE to grow into a world-renown electronics manufacturer.
In 2000, LGE operated six companies: Digital Display, Digital Appliance, Digital Media,
Digital System, Digital Handset and Network. Each company has been managed
autonomously based on a flexible decision making system. With more than 70
subsidiaries in 40 countries and a worldwide marketing network, LGE's operations reach
every corner of the globe.
LGE's strength derives from its diverse leading-edge products which include home
appliances, PC-related multimedia products and electronic products. Telecommunication
products such as handsets, mobile telecommunication systems and network systems are
also examples of internationally acclaimed LGE products.
2000 was especially meaningful for LGE in light of a merger with LG Information and
Communication. LGE's stronghold in the field of electronics was complimented by
LGIC's expertise in telecommunication systems creating a powerful synergistic effect.
As we enter the digital era, LGE aims to push itself to the global forefront as a digital
l e a d e r. To this end, LGE will concentrate its operations on global competitiveness,
particularly with regard to digital TVs, PDPs, and IMT 2000 systems.
