The LG Electronics home appliance manufacturing plant in Clarksville has produced its one millionth washing machine.
This milestone is a tribute to the hundreds of men and women producing LG’s award-winning washers in the United States, according to LG Electronics North America CEO Thomas Yoon.
“In addition to commemorating LG’s top-rated washing machines for American consumers, this milestone highlights LG’s proud role as a strong contributor to the local economy and leading employer in America,” he said.
The millionth washer – a new Energy Star certified front-load model with smart features – rolled off the production line recently at the $360 million factory, believed to be the world’s most advanced, integrated washing machine production plant. The million-square-foot plant has “increased LG’s competitiveness in the U.S., increasing speed to market and responsiveness to changing market conditions,” Yoon said.
Since constructing the factory, the company has been ramping up production of LG’s award-winning washing machines. LG holds the #1 spot in overall customer satisfaction across its home appliance portfolio that includes laundry and other major appliances according to the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index rankings.
LG Tennessee in Clarksville is part of LG Electronics USA Inc., based in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, the North American subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc., a $53 billion global innovator in technology and manufacturing. In the United States, LG sells a wide range of home appliances, home entertainment products, mobile phones, commercial displays, air conditioning systems, solar energy solutions and vehicle components.
