Gaon Cable expands US production capacity amid rising tariffs

Gaon Cable, a subsidiary of LS Cable & System, is gaining a competitive edge in the United States as Washington tightens tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper-related products, with its local manufacturing base helping it reduce tariff exposure and navigate supply chain uncertainties. The company is expanding its U.S. production capacity while broadening its business from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers to power transmission networks and power plants, positioning itself to tap growing demand for electricity infrastructure.
