The city of Alpharetta has been home to the LG air conditioning
business since 2006 making it a natural choice for this year's
headquarters expansion. As the LG customer base continues to grow, a
well-equipped location for training, operations and engineering
became necessary in order to streamline all parts of the business
and further develop and showcase LG's innovative HVAC technology.
"The new LG headquarters in Alpharetta is a symbol of our commitment
to forward-thinking B2B technology, continuous innovation and
elevated education in our air conditioning business and beyond,"
said William Cho, president and CEO, LG Electronics USA. "Today's
opening is another important milestone, and we look forward to
remaining part of the ever-expanding Alpharetta business community." Story

The building
features the LG Business Innovation Center, a brand-new Learning
Academy and an Engineering Control Lab, all aimed at bringing
together engineers, contractors and technicians under one roof.
The Business Innovation Center, a global showcase for LG
commercial solutions, offers a central location for customers to
interact with LG's B2B products, including its flagship VH7B
series, considered to be the pinnacle of video wall digital
signage solutions.
LG's Learning Academy builds on the ongoing success of the LG
Excellence Contractor Program, providing an additional hub for
the program's series of formal, hands-on training sessions for
contractors. LG additionally provides project partnership with
contractors every step of the way to ensure successful and
efficient installation each and every time. With this program
and new Learning Academy, LG empowers contractors to become
experts in application, design and LG's technology in the field.
The LG Engineering Control Lab serves as an advanced, hands-on
facility for LG engineers to develop new technologies, gain
understanding on the ins-and-outs of each product and conduct
final testing on products before they enter the market. LG
Engineers can also learn how to best create integrated systems
that serve a building as efficiently as possible.
"As our business continues to grow, this facility will become a
crucial force in the ongoing development of innovative air
conditioning solutions, and in providing our key partners and
engineers with the educational and operational tools necessary
for success in the field," said Kevin McNamara, senior vice
president, sales and operations for LG Electronics USA's air
conditioning systems business.
LG offers award-winning air conditioning solutions that provide
exceptional versatility for architects, engineers and
contractors. Its industry-leading VRF technology and home
comfort solutions are making major inroads in the U.S. where the
demand for high-performance, flexible HVAC technology continues
to grow. LG's air conditioning systems are designed to provide
sustainable energy savings and offer one of the lowest lifecycle
costs of any HVAC system on the market today.
In addition to its Air Conditioning Systems Headquarters in
Alpharetta, LG Electronics USA this month is also opening its
own Business Innovation Center for LG's commercial display
business in Lincolnshire, Ill. These centers are the first of
their kind in the U.S. and two of only nine such centers
globally, with additional locations in Amsterdam; London; Sao
Paulo; Moscow; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Hanoi, Vietnam; and
Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Each facility is primed to serve as
a technology hub and cutting-edge product showcase to connect
engineers, contractors, integrators and executives in all facets
of LG's industry-leading technology.
