The company
LG Chem
LG Chem, a subsidiary of the Korean LG Group, is one of the leading international manufacturers of petrochemical materials for the information and electronics industry.
Since 1996, the company also specializes in the research, development and production of lithium-ion batteries for various purposes. This includes efficient compact batteries / accumulators for smartphones, laptops and power tools, market-leading storage solutions for hybrid and electric cars as well as advanced stationary energy storage systems for residential and large-scale applications.
Using the patented „stack & folding“ cell technology, storage products from LG Chem are particularly reliable, safe and durable – this is proved by the many reference installations and collaborations with leading PV manufacturers, e. g. SMA with its Sunny Boy Smart Energy battery inverter.
