LG Electronics is establishing its first US chiller factory in Virginia to meet growing demand for AI data centre cooling solutions. The 350,000-square-foot facility in Isle of Wight County will produce air-cooled chillers, with production beginning in the first half of 2027. The company plans to invest KRW 150 billion total across the new US facility and expanded production lines at existing factories in Pyeongtaek and Changwon, South Korea. The Virginia plant will create over 150 jobs. LG is positioning itself as a comprehensive "Chip-to-Chiller" solutions provider. With more than half the world's AI data centres located in North America, the region represents a significant market opportunity. Global data centre capacity is projected to grow from 226 GW in 2026 to 420 GW in 2030, with 60% concentrated in North America.

LG Electronics unveiled its Hydronic Modular cooling system for AI data centres at Data Center World Asia 2026 in Singapore on 29 September. The factory-built container units connect on-site, reducing construction work and supporting phased capacity expansion. The system pre-assembles pumps, valves, emergency buffer tanks and piping in ISO-standard containers. LG also displayed an air-cooled, oil-free inverter turbo chiller, a Fan Wall Unit and liquid-cooling coolant distribution units in 1-megawatt and 2.6-megawatt classes. Nvidia has certified LG's coolant distribution units in 600-kilowatt to 1-megawatt classes and in the 2.6-megawatt class. LG Energy Solution showcased batteries for backup units, whilst LG CNS displayed a prefabricated modular data centre system.

LG Electronics USA has introduced the LG MAGNIT Gen 2 Micro LED LMPD display, targeting high-end commercial installations. The display combines LG's Micro LED technology with NovaStar's COEX 5G Solution, offering advanced image processing and system management capabilities. The LMPD will debut on 15 September at Starpower's Dallas showroom. It features 160-degree viewing angles, HDR10 and HLG support, and enhanced cabling flexibility with signal transmission extending up to 6.2 miles via fibre-optic links. The display incorporates LG's FLAT technology for precise module alignment and includes five-layer grayscale calibration for improved consistency. It's designed for corporate spaces, auditoriums, and control rooms requiring large-scale, high-resolution visual displays. The LMPD joins LG's MAGNIT LED LMPx Series, which includes models for both residential and commercial applications.
