SEOUL (Reuters) - Following are quotes from the Reuters Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit:
LG Electronics Inc. (066570.KS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz)
Vice-president of LG's appliances business Soon Kwon:
- "There is huge potential for LG for developing the consumer's needs for bigger and better refrigerators. As your income level grows you want to have a bigger luxury refrigerator. In that sense there is a huge potential as the world economy grows and the overall income level grows."
- "We don't see that much fluctuation in the metal price, but copper prices had gone down 2 months ago. However, today the copper prices have gone up again. I think it's going to go up and down for a while but will never go down to the level that we saw 2 years ago. That impacts a lot on our business."
- "We would like to place LG products in every possible store front in the United States... Today LG has close to 5,000 store fronts where LG products are displayed and sold in the States."
- "We want to make LG the most preferred brand in the Indian market. We have made a great success in the growth. However, today we want to invest more money into the brand."
