LG Electronics attributed its dominance of the U.S. drum washer market the high competitive edge of its products.
“Our success in the U.S. market can be attributed to the competitiveness of our products that use core technologies differentiated from our competitors,” said Jo Seong-jin, vice president of LG’s washing machine business.
LG Electronics will ramp up efforts to further expand its dominance of the U.S. drum washer market, he added.
LG Electronics is the flagship of LG Group, one of South Korea’s leading conglomerates, and the world’s third-largest handset maker.
