[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Innotek announced on the 6th that it received the '2020 Quality Excellence Award' from the global automaker General Motors (GM) in the United States.

GM awards the Quality Excellence Award to partners who meet the standard of having 'zero (0)' quality defects in the previous year. This award marks the fifth time LG Innotek has received this honor from GM. Since its first supply in 2010, LG Innotek received the GM Quality Excellence Award once in 2015 and has continued to receive it consecutively for the last four years from 2017 to 2020.

LG Innotek explained that since 2010, it has been reliably supplying electric vehicle components such as DC-DC (direct current to direct current) converters, which convert the high-voltage direct current power from the battery into low-voltage direct current suitable for internal vehicle devices, and electric vehicle charging communication controllers (EVCC) to GM, earning recognition for its quality competitiveness.

An LG Innotek official said, "By successfully supplying perfect quality parts over several years, we have been able to further strengthen the trust relationship with GM." He added, "GM is known to have stringent quality management standards as one of the global top automakers. This award has once again solidified our quality leadership in leading the global automotive parts market."

Previously, LG Innotek was selected as an excellent partner by Germany's Continental and Schaeffler in 2015-2016, and recently obtained quality certification from Jaguar Land Rover, a global premium automotive brand.

While focusing on proving its global quality competitiveness in automotive parts, LG Innotek is accelerating its efforts to target the next-generation automotive parts market. LG Innotek is also pursuing global certification acquisition and participation in standard development, including obtaining ASPICE CL3 certification, a standard for automotive software development, standardization of ISO 21448 for the development of autonomous driving international standards (SOTIF), and participation in the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC). LG Innotek's strategy is to strengthen the automotive parts business structure to improve profitability and to advance its customer portfolio, continuously expanding its position in the global automotive parts market.
