LG parts are manufactured in a global network of factories that mirrors where LG finished products are made, with primary production in South Korea, China, Vietnam, Mexico, and the United States. For core components like linear and inverter compressors for refrigerators and air conditioners, LG manufactures them in-house at its factories in South Korea in Changwon and in Mexico and Vietnam for global supply. Motors and direct-drive washer motors are made in South Korea and Vietnam. Electronic control boards, PCBs, and display panels are made in South Korea at LG's Paju and Gumi complexes and in China. Plastic injection molded parts, shelves, and bins are made near final assembly plants to reduce shipping costs, so US-assembled washers use US-molded plastic parts from suppliers around Clarksville, Tennessee. LG also sources many generic parts from third-party suppliers that meet its specifications, such as capacitors, relays, and sensors from Japanese and Chinese component makers. For service replacement parts sold to consumers and technicians, LG operates regional parts distribution centers in the US in Georgia, in Canada in Ontario, and in Europe in the Netherlands, where parts from all factories are stocked. Genuine LG parts are branded with LG part numbers and are made to LG quality standards regardless of factory location, with high-precision components still kept in South Korea for quality control.
