LG Manufactures 1 Millionth Washing Machine in TN

CLARKSVILLE, TN–The LG Electronics home appliance manufacturing plant here has produced its 1 millionth washing machine.

This milestone is a tribute to the hundreds of men and women producing LG’s award-winning washers in the United States, according to LG Electronics North America CEO Thomas Yoon.

“In addition to commemorating LG’s top-rated washing machines for American consumers, this milestone highlights LG’s proud role as a strong contributor to the local economy and leading employer in America,” says Yoon.

The millionth washer – a new ENERGY STAR certified front-load model with smart features – rolled off the production line at the $360 million factory, believed to be the world’s most advanced, integrated washing machine production plant. Yoon says the million-square-foot plant has increased the company’s competitiveness in the United States by increasing speed to market and responsiveness to changing market conditions. Since constructing the factory, the company has been ramping up production of LG’s award-winning washing machines.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
