Since the establishment of one of the world’s largest display clusters in 2006, it is often referred to as a successful case of developing both a corporate and the local economy

The complex equipped with water processing and recycling systems is also well-known for its environmentally-friendly industrial infrastructure.

The display business unit of LG Group has been running support programs to help local communities in the African nation to start businesses, and scholarship programs for descendants of Ethiopian veterans who participated in the 1950-53 Korean War.
