Our commitment extends to enhancing our capacity to provide exceptional value to our customers. LG Chem has been a pioneering force, introducing phosphors for PDP, marking a significant first in Korea. Our globalization journey commenced with the establishment of international offices, including the first manufacturing subsidiary in Nanjing, China, in 2003. Furthermore, Uniseal, Inc. stands as one of our proud family members, serving as a leading provider of high-quality Sealants and offering innovative solutions for various industries and applications. Over the course of more than 15 years, we have steadily evolved into a dominant player in the cathode materials and electrolytes market, both pivotal components for the future of the battery industry. In addition to our achievements in battery materials, we have also harnessed innovative technologies in the field of water solutions. LG NanoH2O, LLC is renowned for expertise in manufacturing cutting-edge RO (Reverse Osmosis) Membranes, a critical component for sustainable water management solutions. With this advanced technology, we challenge environmental concerns related to water pollution and scarcity, ensuring the purity of our water sources.
Life Sciences
LG Chem's Life Sciences Innovation Center, Inc., is at the forefront of pioneering new drug development, contributing to advancements in healthcare and pharmaceuticals. With outstanding R&D competence and a track record of securing USFDA approvals for new drugs, it has become LG Chem's new growth engine in the mid to long term. Our driving force lies in our commitment to open innovation and the strategic utilization of internal R&D pipeline through key partnerships, ensuring a seamless journey from early drug discovery and clinical development to successful therapeutic commercialization. This approach positions us at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation, with LG Chem's vision to become a leading global pharmaceutical company through aggressive expansion in overseas markets and continuous new drug development.
A recent acquisition has further bolstered our commitment to innovation and our position in the industry. AVEO, an oncology-focused company with significant potential to lead the future of the oncology sector, is now a part of the LG Chem family. AVEO's lead candidate, FOTIVDA®, received U.S. FDA approval in 2021, marking it as the first and only approved treatment specifically for advanced kidney cancer or renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Through the integration of AVEO's expertise into LG Chem’s formidable portfolio, we strive to improve the lives of patients, particularly those battling cancer.
