LS Eco Energy has successfully entered the Japanese power market for the first time.

The company announced on the 10th that its Vietnamese production subsidiary, LS-VINA, has signed an annual supply agreement for 6.6 kV CVT power distribution cables with Kitanihon Electric Cable in Japan.

A subsidiary of Tohoku Electric Power, Kitanihon Electric Cable supplies distribution cables to major utility companies across Japan.

The Japanese power market is known for its unique technical standards and stringent quality control requirements, which create a high barrier to entry. This contract was secured in collaboration with LS Cable & System Japan (LSCJ), and marks LS Eco Energy's its full-scale entry into the Japanese power infrastructure market.

LS Eco Energy hopes to leverage this initial supply contract to actively expand its business presence and diversify its product lineup within the Japanese market.

"The Japanese market is known for its rigorous technical standards, so securing a supply opportunity there is highly significant," said Jang Dong-wook, CEO of LS-VINA. "We will intensify our efforts to penetrate advanced power markets such as Japan, the U.S., and Europe by focusing on high-value-added products."

LS Eco Energy posted approximately KRW 1 trillion in provisional sales for 2025, with strong top-line growth ongoing thanks to rising exports amid the growing global demand for power infrastructure. This positive earnings momentum is expected to continue throughout the year.
