LS Cable & System USA

What LS Cable & System USA does

LS Cable & System USA is a U.S. wire and cable manufacturer established in April 2017 when LS Group acquired the Energy division from Superior Essex and folded it under LS Cable & System Ltd., a South Korean parent founded in 1962. Headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, with primary manufacturing in Tarboro, North Carolina, the company produces medium-voltage power cable (MV-105, MV-UD, armored), low-voltage power, control, instrumentation, and ground wire, plus a busway product line (Data-way, DTS monitoring, Ex-way, NSPB, CR Way) certified to UL 857, UL 891, UL 1072, UL 1685, and UL 2556. Proprietary technology includes EZ-RF reduced-friction coating, LS SureClean isolator technology, and DTS fiber-based thermal monitoring for busway systems.

The company serves four primary verticals: electric utilities (MV-UD underground distribution, grid modernization), data centers (MV-105 feeder runs, Data-way modular busway, DTS monitoring), commercial and industrial (LV power, tray, control, instrumentation), and renewable energy (solar, wind, energy storage). It sells via a direct field sales organization (with 250+ years of combined sales experience across Southeast, West, Northeast, and Central/Southwest regions) layered over a national independent manufacturer representative network covering all U.S. states, plus inside sales, plant tours, and engineering support.

The business model is hardware sales of manufactured cable and busway systems, priced on a quote/project basis. Revenue is generated from project-based specification-driven sales rather than catalog distribution, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. Recent capital allocation is heavy: a $50 million Tarboro CCV expansion (February 2026) growing headcount from 250 to 335, a parallel $681 million LS GreenLink USA HVDC submarine cable facility breaking ground in Chesapeake, Virginia (May 2026), publication of ISO 14025/21930 Environmental Product Declarations (March 2026), and an active 2025-2026 buildout of regional representative coverage including Hawaii, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Mountain States, Carolinas, and the West Coast.
