LG Electronics (LG) announces the opening of a new scroll compressor production line at its manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The new line strengthens LG's scroll compressor manufacturing infrastructure, allowing the company to produce more of its award-winning, environmentally friendly solutions while creating a shorter supply chain to serve customers across North America.
LG's decision to establish a production line in Mexico comes at a time when many U.S. HVAC manufacturers are struggling due to increasing logistical disruptions. The strategic move places LG's scroll compressor manufacturing base in close proximity to key North American markets; creating a manufacturing/logistics system that will help the company better respond to regional demand and reduce the impact of factors such as logistical issues on customers.
LG scroll compressors play a major role in the company’s HVAC components business. At the 2023 AHR Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, LG showcased its energy-efficient Gen 3 scroll compressors for residential air conditioners and heat pumps, as well as large-capacity scroll compressors for commercial air conditioning systems.
