en.Wedoany.com Reported - LS Cable & System has announced the start of construction on a key production facility for the world's largest submarine cables at its U.S. manufacturing plant. The Korean cable maker stated on June 25 that its U.S. manufacturing subsidiary, LS GreenLink, has begun building a Vertical Continuous Vulcanization (VCV) tower at its submarine cable factory in Chesapeake, Virginia. The company plans to complete the factory in the second half of 2027 and commence commercial production in the first quarter of 2028.

The VCV tower is a core manufacturing facility used to form the insulation layer of high-voltage cables. By producing cables in a vertical configuration, this process minimizes the effects of gravity, thereby enhancing product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Currently, only one large-scale submarine cable manufacturing facility is operational in the United States. Once completed, LS GreenLink is expected to become the largest submarine cable production base in the country.

LS Cable & System is building an integrated power infrastructure supply chain for North America, with LS GreenLink and LS Marine Solution targeting the ultra-high-voltage transmission market, while Gaon Cable focuses on power infrastructure for AI data centers. The company's CEO, Koo Bon-kyu, stated that LS GreenLink will serve as a strategic production hub supplying both the North American and European markets, and will continue to expand its market influence by leveraging local manufacturing capabilities and technological competitiveness.
