LG Electronics receives an award from Daimler

LG Electronics was recognized at an awards ceremony hosted by Daimler, the German automaking group, for its in-vehicle touchscreen display technology.

At the Daimler Supplier Award, the Daimler group gives awards to outstanding suppliers. Among hundreds of suppliers globally, a total of ten awards were given in four categories: Quality, Innovation, Sustainability and Inspiration.

“It was in the new Inspiration category that LG Electronics was recognized for its in-vehicle touchscreen displays featured in both Mercedes-Benz Cars and Daimler Trucks,” LG said Wednesday in a statement.

This marks a major achievement for the tech company since it launched a new division for automotive vehicle solutions in 2013. Despite reporting an operating loss, the automotive business clinched a number of contracts with major carmakers.
