[Asia Economy Reporter Han Ye-joo] LG Innotek announced on the 7th that it received the '2021 Supplier Quality Excellence Award' from the global automaker General Motors (GM) of the United States. With this award, LG Innotek has won the GM 'Supplier Quality Excellence Award' for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2021.

The 'Supplier Quality Excellence Award' is given annually by GM only to partners who meet the strict standard of 'zero' quality defects. To receive this award, parts installed in finished vehicles must be supplied with perfect quality.

Automotive electronic components are subject to very strict quality control because they are directly related to the lives and safety of passengers and pedestrians. Among them, GM is known to have particularly stringent management standards.

Since 2010, LG Innotek has been supplying electric vehicle parts such as DC-DC (direct current to direct current) converters and Electric Vehicle Communication Controllers (EVCC) to GM.

This year, LG Innotek plans to accelerate the restructuring of its automotive electronic components business and continue to expand its presence in the global automotive electronic components market. In particular, it intends to focus all efforts on improving profitability by actively promoting product and customer structure improvements, strengthening global supply chain management capabilities, and advancing platform models (versatile products minimizing customization) and standardization.

Yu Byung-guk, head of LG Innotek's automotive electronic components division, said, "We will quickly introduce next-generation products with perfect quality such as vehicle sensors, cameras, and communication modules, and innovate customer experience in the global electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle parts market."
