LG Electronics Saudi Arabia and Shaker Group Mark 30 Years of Sustainable Innovation in HVAC Solutions
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 4, 2025: LG Electronics Saudi Arabia and Al Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker Co. (“Shaker”, the “Group” or the “Company”), Saudi Arabia’s leading importer, manufacturer and distributor of Air Conditioners and Home Appliances, are celebrating their 30-year partnership, a journey marked by innovation and excellence in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry.
This long-term alliance will continue to promote LG`s innovative HVAC solutions, and reinforce LG and Shaker`s position as a leading HVAC solution provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These advanced and innovative solutions include residential and commercial air conditioning and chiller systems. All are designed to emphasize ‘Made in Saudi’, sustainability, energy efficiency, and alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 development goals.
During this period the HVAC sector has undergone profound change with the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things boosting innovation in the field. Today customers expect solutions to be more sustainable, efficient, and optimized for operations than ever before.
LG and Shaker Group have been at the forefront of this evolution with advanced products like the LG Multi V™I which is expected to be launched in the Kingdom later this year. LG Multi V™I uses integrated AI algorithms to analyze real-time data and thereby optimize energy usage. This enables the product to be flexible enough to adjust cooling during peak hours as well as monitor room occupancy to ensure temperature levels are ideally set with minimal manual input. This makes it the premier option for consultants in charge of complex projects.
Commenting on the partnership Mr. Pilwon Jung the MEA Regional Representative of LG Electronics, said:
“Over the past three decades, LG has collaborated with Shaker to deliver the most advanced HVAC solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our commitment to driving growth, enhancing customer satisfaction, and contributing to the Kingdom’s sustainability goals remains stronger than ever.”
The partnership was launched in 2008 with the establishment of a joint venture factory in Riyadh that initially produces up to 750,000 units annually. This was a critical step in localizing production while addressing the Kingdom’s pressing need for HVAC solutions.
In recognition of the remarkable milestones achieved, LG and Shaker Group will be honoring key stakeholders who have played significant roles in realizing the partnership’s objectives. This move underscores their shared commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and acknowledging the invaluable contributions of their partners.
Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim Abunayyan, Chief Executive Officer of Shaker, added:
“Our 30-year collaboration with LG Electronics Saudi Arabia is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and contributing to the Kingdom’s prosperity. This enduring partnership reflects our joint dedication to delivering leading, cutting-edge, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that align with Saudi Arabia’s strategic vision while meeting the evolving needs of our valued consumers. Together, we continue to drive excellence, shaping a future of progress and sustainable development.”
As they celebrate this milestone, LG and Shaker Group reaffirm their commitment to promoting sustainable and energy-efficient HVAC solutions that align with Saudi Vision 2030 and contribute to a diversified economy.
