Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 30, 2026 — LG Electronics (LG) Saudi Arabia is reaffirming its long-standing commitment to the local market by highlighting that its complete 2026 residential air conditioner lineup is proudly manufactured at the LG-Shaker facility in Riyadh. As the Kingdom continues to grow its industrial capabilities, LG is seamlessly blending world-class Korean innovation with world-class local production to provide cooling solutions explicitly designed for Saudi homes.

This ongoing localization effort is deeply aligned with the “Saudi Made” program, a cornerstone initiative of the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) under Saudi Vision 2030. Launched to build consumer trust and position locally manufactured products as the preferred choice both domestically and globally, the Saudi Made initiative represents high-quality craftsmanship and industrial excellence. By producing its advanced 2026 lineup locally, LG is actively supporting the program's goal to stimulate the domestic manufacturing sector and increase the Kingdom's non-oil exports.

The 2026 lineup, which includes the premium ARTCOOL, DUALCOOL, and JETCOOL series, has been engineered from the ground up to conquer the demanding Saudi summer. By maintaining local production for these units, LG ensures that every air conditioner is tailor-made to withstand the region’s unique environmental conditions while supporting the sustained growth of the Kingdom’s domestic economy.

“We are incredibly proud that our complete 2026 residential air conditioner lineup carries the 'Made in Saudi' distinction,” said Jungho (Sunny) Kim, Managing Director of LG Electronics Saudi Arabia. “The Saudi climate requires a very specific, robust approach to cooling. By manufacturing right here in Riyadh, we can swiftly adapt to the needs of our local consumers while contributing to the Kingdom's thriving industrial landscape. We are not just building air conditioners; we are building them at home, for our home.”

Locally Built for Extreme Performance

The LG-Shaker Riyadh factory, established in 2006, stands as a testament to LG's robust local infrastructure. As LG’s flagship HVAC factory in Arab nations and one of its top international high-efficiency manufacturing hubs, the facility has integrated state-of-the-art industrial robots to continuously optimize production.

Not only does this facility supply the local market with the 2026 lineup, but its exceptional quality standards have positioned it as a major export hub, currently exporting Saudi-made air solutions to over 30 countries across the MENA region. The Riyadh factory is setting global benchmarks in AC manufacturing.

Advanced Features for the Saudi Consumer

The Saudi-made lineup brings unparalleled comfort, energy efficiency, and durability to consumers:

•        Unmatched Durability: Designed for harsh conditions, the outdoor heat exchangers feature LG’s patented Gold Fin™ anti-corrosion coating, ensuring the surface is resistant to sand, dust, and corrosive elements.

•        Rapid Cooling & Energy Efficiency: The ARTCOOL and DUALCOOL models are equipped with the acclaimed Dual Inverter Compressor™, which drastically reduces energy consumption while cooling spaces faster than conventional compressors.

•        Smart Living: Seamlessly integrated with the LG ThinQ™ smart platform, users can monitor and control their home’s climate remotely from their smartphones.

•        Hassle-Free Maintenance: Built-in auto-cleaning functions prevent the build-up of bacteria and mold, ensuring the air remains fresh and pure.

To guarantee peace of mind, LG offers a 10-year compressor warranty for the inverter-based ARTCOOL and DUALCOOL units, and a 7-year warranty for the non-inverter JETCOOL models.
