In short
LG Electronics will build its first U.S. chiller production plant in Windsor, Virginia, a 32,000-square-meter air-cooled chiller facility on a 170,000-square-meter site targeting operations in the first half of next year, backed by roughly 150 billion won ($110.1 million) in total investment including expansions at its Pyeongtaek and Changwon plants in South Korea. The company aims to capture booming AI data center cooling demand in North America, projected by Omdia to hold about 60% of global data center power capacity by 2030, by producing near customers and offering a "chip-to-chiller" integrated thermal management lineup with a "One LG" affiliate strategy. The global AI data center cooling market is forecast by Fortune Business Insights to grow from $21 billion this year to $54.4 billion by 2034.
