The Industrial Zone will display welding hoses made from eco-friendly plasticizers and NB latex gloves. Lastly the Mobility Zone will display electrical vehicle materials using engineering plastics
LG Chem will also operate exhibition booths with an eco-friendly 'Paperless Concept' that minimizes paper use by utilizing digital technology.
In addition, digital catalogues that help customers understand each exhibition zone are installed, and details of the displayed products can be shown online by using QR codes.
A separate "DX Zone (Digital Transformation Zone)" is established so that customers can experience through digital screens the entire product purchase process from ordering to production, packaging and delivery. The DX Zone will also have eight lounges where video meetings are available for customers who want to communicate with the headquarters in Korea.
Meanwhile, LG Chem became the first Korean chemical company to enter the Chinese market in 1995 by establishing a production subsidiary in China, and currently operates 15 production and sales subsidiaries, including a Chinese holding company located in Beijing.
