[
THE INVESTOR] LG Hausys said Sept. 28 that it has established a branch in Ho Chi Minh City to help its products make inroads into Vietnam and other Southeast Asian markets.
The new outlet in Ho Chi Minh is the second of its kind in Southeast Asia for Korea’s largest home decoration and construction parts manufacturer that specializes in windows, curtain walls, and various interior-oriented materials.
The company’s first branch in Southeast Asia is in Jakarta, Indonesia.
LG Hausys currently ships walls, flooring materials, imitation marble and other construction materials, a company official said, adding it will also consider exporting windows and interior materials to Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.
The company expects the branch offices in Ho Chin Minh and Jakarta will help it make inroads into neighboring Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, according to the official.
