Samsung and LG consider US manufacturing shift, report says
Tariff concerns prompt production review by the two companies.

Samsung and LG Electronics may shift some home appliance production from Mexico to the United States, according to a South Korean news report. The potential move follows former President Donald Trump’s announcement of possible 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, set to take effect on February 1.
Samsung is reportedly considering relocating dryer production to its South Carolina plant, while LG may move refrigerator production to its Tennessee factory, which already produces washing machines and dryers. Both companies are evaluating their operations as they adapt to market changes and trade policies.
In statements, Samsung emphasised its flexible global production strategy, while LG highlighted its commitment to adjusting production systems to meet market demands. These considerations reflect broader shifts in manufacturing strategies due to trade uncertainties.
