In the process, corporate value is being raised as we strive to attain our goal of being a top-tier pharmaceutical maker in the global market.
Our involvement in pharmaceuticals dates back to 1981, when we
began genetic engineering research as a division of LG Chemical. Since
then, we have focused on the development of synthetic and bioengineered drugs, and we have enjoyed noteworthy success. For example, our quinolone antibiotic FACTIVE
® became the first-ever new drug developed in Korea to receive FDA approval in 2003. It is now available in the US market and sales are growing steadily.
The life sciences industry is committed to promoting human health and longevity. This business also
represents unlimited possibilities and potential for growth.
LG Life Sciences is contributing to the improvement of people health and life quality and is firmly
established as the Korean leader of this strategically important industry. In the future, all LG Life
Sciences employees will continue to strive for global prominence while operating as a highly ethical
corporation that has the public trust.
