class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On December 19, 2019, the ZKW Group established a branch in Incheon, Korea, near Seoul. The lighting systems manufacturer is integrating the rear light business of LG Electronics and the development center and sales office will eventually employ dozes of specialists in the fields of lighting technology, electronics, and design. The aim is to further expand business in the Korean automotive market and the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, sensors for assistance systems for autonomous driving will also be installed in rear lights. In addition, ZKW is integrating the rear light production of LG Electronics in Ningbo, China. \u201cThe new locations supplement our portfolio with the strategically important area of rear lights. They are a further milestone towards our commitment to provide 360\u00b0 service for the automotive industry,\u201d explains Oliver Schubert, CEO of the ZKW Group.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5902ad3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5902ad3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>ZKW is developing into an \u201cExterior Lighting for Automotive\u201d competence center<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the time ZKW was acquired by LG in 2018, it was already agreed that the \u201cExterior Lighting for Automotive\u201d business unit would be jointly developed from that point, and that ZKW\u2019s core competence in headlights would be merged with LG\u2019s rear light business. This makes ZKW the competence center for lighting in LG Electronics\u2019 Vehicle Solution segment.<br \/>\n\u201cThe rear light business is a strategically valuable component for us because we have not been active in this segment in the past,\u201d says Schubert. \u201cZKW Korea will be a key development office and by adding these specialists in Korea, we gain additional expertise and capacity. We are very pleased that we were able to bring the highly qualified LG Electronics employees on board.\u201d Staffing of the Korean office will be increased to around 80 by the end of 2020. They develop lighting systems with a focus on rear lights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rear light production in China<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rear lights developed to date are manufactured in Ningbo, China. The production site in Ningbo was previously managed by LG Electronics\u2019 Vehicle Solution and is now under the responsibility of ZKW. Ningbo is the extended workbench of the existing ZKW site in Dalian. Both production facilities are located close to strategically important trading hubs. \u201cThe acquisition of the Ningbo plant means ZKW is now a full-range supplier of headlights and rear lights. We are striving to achieve strong growth in the Asian market and intend to increasingly supply local customers locally. We benefit from LG\u2019s strong network,\u201d says Schubert.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-430ff974 elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"430ff974\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-5fee144 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"South Korea_LG CJ_LGENS_201308_045\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-bdbd432 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"China_Ningbo_Luftbild\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5548a5fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5548a5fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><div class=\"ShariffSC shariff-zkw\"><div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\" style=\"display:none\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-round orientation-vertical buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button facebook shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#4273c8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fzkw-group.com%2Fen%2Fhome%2Fnewsroom%2Fnews%2Fzkw-integrates-lg-electronics-rear-light-business-new-locations-in-korea-and-china%2F\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
