LG Electronics said on Thursday it has established its first overseas research and development (R&D) lab for home entertainment products in Indonesia as part of its efforts to accelerate its inroads into the Southeast Asian TV market.
The 40,000-square-foot R&D lab in Cibitung, West Java, is located near LG’s existing TV manufacturing facilities in the city, which serve as the production hub for the Asian market, and is only 40 kms away from LG’s sales office in the capital city of Jakarta.
LG expected the regional R&D lab to allow the company to more effectively run its business from product development to delivery to end-users, reports Yonhap news agency.
Late last year, LG created a new post dedicated to product development in Indonesia, as the Cibitung plant has diversified the list of products it manufactures there over the past years.
