“At LG we stand behind our brand promise – Life’s Good. And we endeavour to deliver on that brand promise at each touch point with our customers – from a retail to a repair experience. The launch of this new Premium Service Centre cements our commitment to that promise.

“LG takes its presence in South Africa seriously, and we are always striving to make a difference and improve people’s lives.”

As per IOL, the company has been one of the foreign direct investors supporting President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ambitious R1.2 trillion investment drive.

LG’s investment in the country’s economy provides a much-needed boost for the declining manufacturing sector which has been severely hit by power outages implemented by ESKOM.

It is reported that the opening of the centre comes a year after the company lost millions of rands when its R21 million factory and distribution centre was looted and set alight during the July 2021 unrest.

Having opened its doors in January 2020 with a staff complement of 112 employees, the new factory was launched as a hub for the manufacturing and distribution of electronics.
