Who makes LG microwaves?

LG microwaves are made by LG Electronics, a South Korean multinational electronics and appliance company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, part of LG Corporation. LG Electronics is one of the world's largest microwave manufacturers and designs, engineers, and assembles its own microwaves in its own factories, not rebadged from other companies. Major manufacturing locations for LG microwaves include Changwon, South Korea for premium and inverter models, and Nanjing, China and Tianjin, China for many models sold in North America, Europe, and Asia. LG also has microwave production in Monterrey, Mexico for some models destined for the North American market to reduce shipping costs and tariffs. LG microwaves are original LG designs using LG-developed technologies like EasyClean interior coating that resists stains and allows quick cleaning, Smart Inverter technology that provides continuous low power for even defrosting, and ThinQ smart WiFi control. LG sources some generic components like magnetrons, which are the core heating components, from specialized suppliers such as LG's own component division and other suppliers, as all microwave brands do, but final assembly, quality control, and testing are done by LG. LG microwaves are not made by other appliance brands like GE, Samsung, or Frigidaire, and LG does not manufacture microwaves for those competitors.
