Who owns LG Appliances?
LG Electronics USA is identified as the North American subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc. in the company’s dated releases. The appliance maker and the retail brand should be distinguished from a wholesaler, service company or a different LG business. [1][2]
Who actually makes LG Appliances products?
LG’s 2023 release describes an integrated Clarksville operation including metal pressing, plastic injection molding, painting, assembly and packaging. The local industrial development board’s April 2025 update confirms operating washer/dryer production and names LX Pantos and Shinhung as suppliers. [1][3]
Where are LG Appliances products made?
Clarksville’s millionth washer was recorded in August 2020, providing actual-output evidence. The January 2023 release confirms washer and dryer production there and identifies Changwon’s LG Smart Park. The 2025 local announcement concerns a planned warehouse expansion, not a newly confirmed appliance assembly line. [1][2][3]
Is LG Appliances made in China or the USA?
Yes, LG makes laundry appliances in the United States at Clarksville. Historical China manufacturing is separately confirmed for LG-made Kenmore dehumidifiers in the 2013 CPSC record; that OEM example does not locate a current LG-branded refrigerator or washer. [1][4]
Same factory, different label
CPSC names LG Electronics (Tianjin) Appliance as manufacturer of specified Kenmore dehumidifiers made in 2003–2005. That establishes a historical contract-manufacturing relationship with Kenmore, whose brand owner is separate. It does not establish identical current products. [4]
