Established in Seoul, South Korea, in 1947, LG Chem, Ltd. is a global enterprise with diverse operations across petrochemicals, energy solutions, advanced materials, and life sciences. Its expansive reach covers South Korea, China, other Asian countries, the United States, Europe, and various international markets. Within its petrochemical segment, the company produces fundamental olefin products like ethylene, propylene, and butadiene, primarily sourced from naphtha. This division also yields an extensive array of synthetic resins and components, alongside aromatic petrochemicals such as benzene, polypropylene, bisphenol A, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), engineered plastics (EP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plasticizers, acrylics, super absorbent polymers, and synthetic rubber. The energy solutions division specializes in manufacturing and supplying batteries for consumer electronics like mobile phones and laptops, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems. LG Chem's advanced materials business focuses on specialized products including polarizers, automotive components, glass substrates, OLED films and materials, and battery materials. It also provides reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, semiconductor materials, and display materials, such as LCD photoresists. In life sciences, the company's offerings include human growth hormones like Eutropin, diabetes treatments such as Zemiglo, bovine somatotropins (Boostin), vaccines, and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (e.g., YVORIE). Additionally, they develop fine chemical products, exemplified by the PYANCHOR herbicide for rice farming. Beyond these core areas, LG Chem's activities encompass agricultural solutions, including crop protection products, seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, alongside pharmaceutical research and facility management services. The company also manufactures and markets adhesives and electronic parts, distributes pharmaceutical products and water processing membranes, engages in agricultural pesticide licensing, and makes strategic investments in venture companies.
