What LG Hausys does

LX Hausys (formerly LG Hausys) is a Seoul-headquartered, publicly listed manufacturer of architectural finishing materials, automotive components, and industrial films, spun off from LG Chemical in 2009 and rebranded under LX Holdings in 2021. The company traces its operating history to the founding of Lucky Chemical Industries in 1947 and today operates three primary segments: Architectural Materials under the LX Z:IN brand (windows, flooring, wall coverings, insulation, HIMACS acrylic solid surface, VIATERA engineered stone, and imported Italian kitchens via rastelli and Cucine LUBE); Automotive Materials & Components (SOFINO/VERNO/LUSSINO/Calfpelle seat fabrics, LiteMax thermoplastic composite lightweight parts for EVs, and structural components); and Industrial Films (PET/PVC decorative films, appliance surface films, and Sign & Graphic films).

The company's technology platform is anchored in proprietary materials science, including quasi-noncombustible PF Board phenolic foam insulation (0.020 W/m·K thermal conductivity, industry-first low-carbon certification), LiteMax continuous fiber composites delivering up to 56% weight reduction versus steel, BIPV Solar System Louvers with patented blade detachment (10-2247681), and multi-material composite window bonding technology. Manufacturing is distributed across Cheongju and Ulsan in Korea, with overseas production in Atlanta, USA and Wuxi, China, supplemented by wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in seven countries.

LX Hausys generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales to automotive OEMs, project-based direct sales for major construction developments, and a 385+ certified dealer network plus brand showrooms (LX Z:IN, LONCHEL Gallery) for building materials. Disclosed 2024 revenue was ₩35,720 billion KRW (~US$26.8 billion) with operating profit of ₩975 billion KRW, reflecting the scale of a diversified Korean industrial conglomerate subsidiary.
