This investment is set to transform LSCMX into a comprehensive energy and mobility manufacturing base serving the Americas. The key initiatives include expanding the existing busduct production capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand driven by AI data centers and large-scale power infrastructure. Additionally, the construction of new automotive cable production lines will support both internal combustion and electric vehicle platforms.
Gisu Kim, the Regional President of North America for LS Cable & System, Ltd., stated that this investment is a calculated move to strengthen the company’s North American manufacturing platform. He said, “By expanding production capabilities in Mexico and aligning them closely with U.S. operations, LS C&S is building a more resilient, responsive, and competitive supply chain to support growing demand across energy infrastructure, data centers, and automotive markets, while reinforcing its long-term commitment to customers and partners throughout the region.”
Yaekyu Ji, CEO of LS Cable & System, S.A. de C.V., added, “This investment allows us to further strengthen the North American supply chain by integrating our operations in Mexico with our U.S. facilities. We are committed to providing reliable, high-quality production that supports the energy, mobility, and technology sectors, ensuring customers across the region have access to advanced solutions and timely delivery.”
This investment follows a series of major investment commitments by LS Cable & System in North America. In April 2025, the company initiated LS GreenLink Phase 1 in Chesapeake, Virginia, a $681 million investment that includes a 750,000-square-foot advanced cable manufacturing facility, a 660-foot Vertical Continuous Vulcanization (VCV) tower, and a dedicated pier to support high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine power cable production, creating more than 330 jobs.
In December 2025, LS Cable & System announced an additional investment in Chesapeake, Virginia, representing the largest capital investment in the history of the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. This investment is expected to create approximately 430 jobs and expand manufacturing capabilities in copper recycling, magnet wire manufacturing, and rare-earth magnet production, thereby strengthening domestic supply chain security and supporting emerging energy and advanced technology.
