LG Electronics (LGE) makes the stuff that has excited game show contestants for decades. The company's 70-plus subsidiaries design and manufacture display products (TVs, monitors), home appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, air conditioners), and multimedia devices (VCRs, DVD players, CD-ROM drives, MP3 players). LGE owns Zenith Electronics and has a flat-panel display joint venture with Philips Electronics (LG.Philips LCD). LGE has been increasing its sales to North America and Europe; Korea provides 33% of sales. Founded in 1958 as Goldstar, the firm -- a member of South Korea's LG Group -- has taken over the operations of LG Information & Communication (video phones, mobile phones, routers, switches, hubs).
