LG INDUSTRIES SAS has been a major player in the bathroom/kitchen market for 20 years with its two brands, LG INDUSTRIES and KRONE.
We are based in Phalempin, a town in Hauts-de-France, about ten kilometres from Lille.
As a French manufacturer and expert in the sanitary products’ market, LG INDUSTRIES has extensive experience. We manufacture enclosures, showers, bath and taps. We design the models according to the specific needs of distributors and users, and trends.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, LG Industries has doubled the size of its production facilities to 36,000m2. Our plant, one of the most modern in Asia, benefits increasingly from our our know-how
and our values of respect for people and the environment. As such, we are BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certified.
What's more, our faucet production lines have been up and running at Phalempin since summer 2023. These include mechanical mixing valves and thermostatic mixing valves certified NF (Norme Française) by the CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment).
Today, we are also test laboratoryequipped with state-of-the-art equipment, enabling us to perfectly assess the performance of all products on the market. Here again, as part of our ongoing drive to control consumption, we have opted for machines that recycle 100% of the water used.
These forward-looking developments require heavy investment. After analyzing our company and our strategy, Europe and the Nord department placed their trust in us and supported us through the ERDF operational program. We're proud of their confidence and delighted with this partnership.

Our beliefs
LG INDUSTRIES is recognized as a major player in the sanitaryware industry, thanks to the quality of the materials we select and the care we take in production. Since our creation, sustainability has been one of our core values. It drives our decisions to invest in our production facilities: aluminum and stainless steel profile manufacturing, glass processing and tempering, thermoforming.
In the course of our experience, we have integrated all these processes to guarantee the quality and availability of our products and sub-parts. Our aim: to make the best available to as many people as possible.
Proximity
Conscious of being part of a regional fabric, we attach great importance to our environment: local service providers, organic commitments, community-based projects, etc.
Our head office, as well as our administrative, sales and logistics teams, are located in Hauts-de-France. They anticipate and respond to individual needs. A 12,000m² warehouse allows us to meet the growing demand for immediate availability.
Our History
2004/2012 Towards the industrialization of showers, faucets and bathtubs.
Founded in 2004 in the Hauts de France
Thierry Lelong founded LG Industries in Carvin in 2004, drawing on his extensive experience in the sanitaryware sector. The company, renowned for its products and service, grew by expanding its customer base and teams, before relocating to Noyelles-Godault. Faithful to the values of its founder, the company strengthens the pillars of what will become the group's values: providing quality products at a price accessible to the greatest number.
Manufacturing know-how
This calls for increasing investment in our production facilities: our plant is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, enabling us to master the entire transformation process, from glass firing to stainless steel stamping.
Innovative manufacturer
LG Industries manufactures shower Enclosures and Cabins , faucets and bathtubs. The emphasis is on quality and mastery of manufacturing processes.
In 2005, LG INDUSTRIES innovates with the first "all-glass" enclosure on the market.
In 2008, LG INDUSTRIES creates the first "screwless" enclosure on the market.
2013/2016, a new industrial turning point
In 2013, LG Industries integrated the production of stainless steel profiles.
With a view to continuous improvement, including ease of assembly and intrinsic component quality, LG INDUSTRIES integrates the entire manufacturing process. Heavy investments are made, including extrusion and anodizing for greater resistance.
This also includes laser cutting and forming of stainless steel profiles.
In 2014, LG Industries integrated Acryl thermoforming.
To complement its in-house know-how, LG INDUSTRIES is reinforcing its production capacity with thermoforming.
Thermoforming is used to manufacture Lucite acrylic bathtubs and shower trays, a worldwide benchmark for superior quality.
In 2015, LG Industries integrated the production of aluminum profiles.
Profiles are anodized in-house. Anodizing creates a protective layer on the aluminum surface using an electrochemical process. This layer makes the aluminum more resistant to corrosion and allows it to be colored more easily. It's an armor that enables a palette of durable, long-lasting colors!
In 2016, our plant was awarded BSCI certification.
The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is a program that helps companies improve working conditions in their global supply chains.
It provides a Code of Conduct and induces social audits based on internationally recognized principles to classify companies.
2017/2018, towards the factory of the future
2017, the contribution of pellets
A new step for the environment, in 2017 LG Industries invested in a pellet furnace to carry out the extrusion of aluminum balls. CO2 emissions are drastically reduced.
2018, a roof of solar panels
In its quest for self-sufficiency, LG INDUSTRIES is installing a special roof with over 1,400 solar panels. Cleaner electricity and on-line production during the day.
2019, the KRONE by LGINDUSTRIES turnaround
The LG INDUSTRIES brand, "KRONE by LGIndustries" will be showcased at ISH 2019.
It is at ISH 2023 that we have chosen to reinforce this beautiful brand, which reflects our values: sustainable quality and Design above all else.
Krone imagines, designs and manufactures shower Cabins , bathtubs and faucets sold through specialized distribution channels. What sets KRONE apart is its attention to detail, the right materials and the innovation that makes the difference.
Our values
Our brand makes its own industrial, innovation and development choices. It knows its product and explains in detail its levels of quality, consumer experience
and durability.
Krone is betting on the consumer's ability to buy a product not only on price, but also on perceived quality and established reputation. Krone believes in an increasingly enlightened consumer, who chooses the structural elements of his or her bathroom based on the pleasure of using them on a daily basis.
2023, relocation of valves and fittings.
An NF range made in Phalempin
In the wake of the COVID crisis, LG Industries is relocating a large proportion of its valves and betting on European components to bolster its CSTB-certified NF range.
A professional test laboratory
Laboratory testing of valves, in both air and water, ensures that they function correctly under all conditions. Faucets are checked for leaks, pressure resistance and corrosion. These demanding tests ensure that the faucet will be reliable and long-lasting.
2024, a new industrial turning point, at the cutting edge of technology
As a manufacturer, LG INDUSTRIES took the strategic decision to double the size of its plant and modernize all its machinery.
By investing heavily in state-of-the-art equipment, we are confirming our position as a leader in our sector. This enables us to continue offering high-quality products at competitive prices, while meeting our customers' expectations.

We can respond ever more efficiently to growing demand. Our 60-metre-long baking oven allows for optimal rotation.
Improving operational efficiency
Modernizing our machines enables us to optimize our production processes: greater precision, less downtime and lower maintenance costs.
Reducing the ecological footprint
Modern machines are even more energy-efficient and produce less waste. This enables us to further reduce our environmental impact.
These investments prepare us for future market developments and the changing needs of our customers.
Our commitment
These initiatives are essential to ensure the sustainable growth and future of our company. They reflect our commitment to innovation and to offering the best to our customers and partners.
