LG化学受邀参展德国IZB 2026，展出轻量化与电池安全等汽车材料

LG Chem is showcasing high-value-added materials designed to reduce vehicle weight and improve battery safety at an international automotive components exhibition in Germany.
The company said it is participating in the International Suppliers Fair (IZB 2026), held in Wolfsburg, Germany, from Oct. 27 to 29, local time. LG Chem is the only South Korean materials company taking part following an invitation from Volkswagen Group.
IZB is an automotive components and materials trade fair that originated as a supplier exhibition for Volkswagen Group. About 850 companies from 33 countries are participating this year.
LG Chem is presenting lightweight materials that can replace metals and paint-free materials that eliminate the need for painting processes. It is also showcasing automotive interior and exterior materials made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, materials designed to delay battery thermal runaway, and switchable glazing film (SGF) materials that control transparency in vehicles.
The company will also present cost-reduction strategies using paint-free and recycled materials to executives from major customers.
LG Chem signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Volkswagen Group in September to jointly develop materials for future mobility. The company plans to use the exhibition to expand existing areas of cooperation and secure new customers.
Kim Sang-min, senior vice president and head of LG Chem’s Petrochemicals Business, said, “We will strengthen cooperation with global customers in future automotive materials based on our differentiated material solutions and technological capabilities.”
