LS Group Chairman Koo Ja-eun has been busy with the on-site management of major domestic affiliates for three months, to better find synergy between existing and new businesses, according to company officials.
The chairman and Myung Roe-hyun, CEO of LS Corp., who took office this year, have been visiting business sites of 14 subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries nationwide to better prepare for the post-COVID era.
They visited Torecom, the No. 1 precious metal recycling company in Korea and a subsidiary of LS Nikko Copper Smelting in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, and LS Electric's Cheonan and Cheongju plants, as well as LS Cable's subsidiaries GNPwood and Sejong Cable in South Chungcheong Province.
After looking around the precious metal extraction production line, Koo said, "In the future, please increase the proportion of semiconductor materials and electrical, electronic materials with high added value so that LS-Nikko Copper and Torecom can develop into comprehensive materials companies in the high-tech industry."
On-site management inspections by the LS Group chairman are a tradition that has been passed down since the days of the first chairman.
Koo showed a strong will toward maximizing business value and making the group's second leap forward.
"LS Chairman Koo started on-site management inspections of major domestic affiliates over the course of about three months aiming to maximize the synergy between the main business and the new businesses," LS Group official said. "The group's future growth engines and major business fields were visited directly, and they received reports on pending issues and encouraged employees while trying to improve the group's future competitiveness and seeking solutions for sustainable growth."
