LG Chem, South Korea's leading chemical firm, said Wednesday its first-quarter net profit rose to the highest level ever on strong electric vehicle (EV) battery sales, vowing to step up investment in the battery and related materials to further propel growth.
LG Chem's net profit came to 1.4 trillion won ($1.2 billion) in the January-March period, skyrocketing from a net profit of 36.3 billion won a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory briefing.
