LIG Defense & Aerospace (LIG D&A) marked its 50th anniversary with a gathering of top executives from the LG family.
According to industry sources, a private commemorative event was held on July 1 in Seoul, attended by LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, GS Group Chairman Huh Tae-soo, LS Group Chairman Koo Ja-eun, LIG Chairman Koo Bon-sang, LX Group Chairman Koo Bon-jun, and LT Group Chairman Koo Bon-sik.
This is reportedly the first time all these leaders from the LG family have appeared together at an LIG event.
LIG D&A began as Geumseong Precision Industry in 1976 and became part of the LIG Group in 2004. The company has undergone several name changes, transitioning from NexOne Future and LIG Nex1 to its current name, LIG D&A, in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
With its new name, LIG D&A aims to strengthen investments in future defense sectors, including satellite systems, next-generation aviation weapon systems, and unmanned platforms, positioning itself as a leader in the evolving battlefield environment.
In his remarks during the public anniversary celebration, CEO Shin Ik-hyun stated, "The number 50 is not just a measure of time but represents the depth of trust and the record of growth we have built together from Geumseong Precision Industry to LIG D&A. We will dedicate ourselves to completing a 'Total Defense Solution' that is irreplaceable anywhere in the world, guided by the spirit of openness and cooperation."
