As one of the most innovative brands around, it’s no surprise that LG earned the title of “World’s Best IT Company” in 2004.
Goldstar Becomes LG Electronics
In the ‘80s, the development of consumer technology skyrocketed as more and more people wanted to get their hands on the “next big thing”. Domestically, Goldstar was one of the first to bring a variety of different products to Korean homes, including the colour video camera and domestic mini computer.
But Goldstar also became a household name for international consumers in this era. To keep up with global demand, Goldstar expanded into the U.S. by building a colour television factory in 1982. Following the brand’s transformation in 1995, LG continued to produce some of the thinnest, smallest and most spectacular electronics in the world.
The Golden Years: Korea’s Best Consumer Products
Founded in 1958,Goldstar Co., Ltd—the predecessor to LG Electronics—was a pioneer in technology throughout the ‘60s. Goldstar’s popularity took off inside and outside of the home as they introduced many of Korea’s first consumer products, including automatic telephones, fans, transistor radios and even televisions. In fact, the trailblazing company produced more than 1 million TVs for the first time in the mid-1970s.
And during this time, Goldstar became the first Korean electronics manufacturer to establish a presence overseas as a supplier for multiple U.S. retailers—including Sears and J. C. Penney. From that point on, Goldstar would continue to gain traction toward becoming the industry leader you’re familiar with today.
