SEOUL, April 14, 2025 —LG Electronics (LG), a mobility sector technology leader, has been honored at General Motors’ (GM) 33rd annual Supplier of the Year event in Arizona, USA, earning the coveted title of “Creativity Team Award” for redefining in-vehicle entertainment and connectivity.

GM’s Supplier of the Year awards recognizes global suppliers for their execution across key categories like safety, innovation and resilience.

LG has been a trusted partner to GM since 2006. The company was first recognized at GM’s Supplier of the Year Award in 2014 and has now been honored by GM on seven separate occasions. This achievement highlights LG’s ability to consistently develop and deliver cutting-edge solutions. In 2016, 2022 and 2023, LG received GM’s Overdrive Award, an accolade reserved for suppliers that have made exceptional contributions within the framework of GM’s Global Purchasing & Supply Chain operations. Additionally, in 2017 and 2020, LG earned the Innovation Award for its successful efforts to enhance vehicle performance and the customer experience.
