LG Electronics India today announced the launch of its new range of semi-automatic washing machines. The lineup includes 15 models with capacities ranging from 8 kg to 12 kg, featuring advanced technologies such as Dual Spin Shower and Wind Jet Dry+. Exports of these new models are scheduled to begin in 2027, targeting over 10 countries globally.

The new range addresses common laundry challenges like detergent residue and slow drying. Key features include a Toughened Glass Lid, Roller Jet Pulsator+, Ultra Scrub Wall, and Rat Away Technology. The machines are available in premium colour options including Onyx Black, Middle Black, and Burgundy.

Product Features

The appliances incorporate several technological upgrades aimed at improving wash quality and user convenience:

• Dual Spin Shower: Uses two water inlets to rinse away residual detergent.
• Roller Jet Pulsator+: Creates dynamic water movement to remove dirt.
• Ultra Scrub Wall: Designed with a scrub pattern for cuffs and collars.
• Wind Jet Dry+: Uses powerful airflow to remove excess moisture.
• Smart Filter: Captures lint efficiently during the wash cycle.

Manufacturing and Operations

The new range is manufactured at LG's Greater Noida facility, which operates as an Industry 5.0-centric smart factory. The plant utilizes AI-enabled operations, automation, robotics, and AGVs for production. The company conducts 100% quality checks and AI vision inspections to ensure operational efficiency.

LG Electronics India Limited has been recognised as a Top Organisation with Innovative HR Practices at the 25th Asia Pacific HRM Congress Awards 2026. The awards ceremony took place in Bengaluru on September 17, 2026.

The company was honoured for its initiatives in leadership development, organisational capability, workplace culture, employee experience, and talent development. These recognitions align with LG Electronics India’s strategic vision of “Make in India, Make for India, and Make India Global.”

Leadership Recognition

Mr. Jwa Nam Kim, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO) of LG Electronics India, received the Most Impactful HR Leader Award. He was recognised for driving HR transformation and positioning people as a strategic enabler of business growth.

Mr. Kim stated that the recognition belongs to every member of the organisation. He noted that HR practices have always been closely aligned with business transformation initiatives. As the company enters its next chapter of growth, the focus remains on building leadership, capabilities, culture, and organisation to enable people and business to grow together.

Previous Accolades

These latest honours build on a sustained track record of HR excellence for the company. Key previous recognitions include:

• Great Place to Work® Certified for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025)
• National Best Employer Brand award 2026 from World HRD Congress
• Top HR Iconic Leader Award for Mr. Jwa Nam Kim

What the Numbers Show

The consistent stream of awards across different categories—workplace certification, employer branding, and individual leadership—indicates a broad-based organisational strategy rather than isolated initiatives. The dual recognition of both the organisation and its CHO suggests a strong alignment between corporate policy and executive execution in human resources management.
