HomeLPR Global Launches Chemical Consortium Following 2026 Korean Government Re-Certification.
Toronto, Ontario, March 17, 2026 – LPR Global, Inc. announced today the launch of the LPR Chemical Consortium, coinciding with the firm’s 2026 re-certification from the Korean federal government. The certification follows a period of significant expansion and underscores the success of LPR’s consortium-based model.
“Our success comes from the synergy of our members and our unique value as a vertically and horizontally integrated vendor alliance,” said Mikah Lee, CEO of LPR Global. “The launch of our Chemical Division creates new opportunities for existing members while providing our new chemical members immediate access to a proven platform of global clients.”
The newly formed chemical consortium includes a range of members from small and medium sized Korean chemical manufacturers to major global conglomerates, including LG Chemical and Kolon.
“The expansion into the chemical sector is a strategic response to the growing demand for chemical solutions in the North American market,” said Ms. Dosemi Choung, Senior Director of the Chemical Division. “By integrating these manufacturers into our established supply chain, we are providing our clients with a comprehensive procurement experience for advanced chemical materials in wastewater, semiconductor, battery and construction markets.”
The 2026 certification is bolstered by several high-profile benchmarks achieved by US Korea Hotlink:
-18 years of Partnership: A nearly two-decade track record of cross-border collaboration
-Global Recognition: Awarded Best Consortium Practice in the World in 2025, 2024 and many previous years by the Korean federal government
-Export Excellence: Named Most Successful Exporting Consortium in 2025 by the Korean Industry and Trade Association
Marking its second decade of government-certified operations, LPR Global recently held a Partnership Award ceremony in Gyungsan, South Korea. The 2026 Partnership Award was presented to Changjo ENG, a long-term supplier to POSCO and Hyundai Steel.
“I’m honored to present this award to Changjo ENG, one of our oldest and most successful members,” said Jay Yang, Project Manager at LPR Global, who attended the ceremony. “It is rewarding to witness the growth and synergy built around this consortium partnership. “
Mr. Joonmo Jung, Executive Managing Director at Changjo ENG, described the recognition as a gratifying milestone. “Changjo ENG’s success in U.S. was made possible by the consortium’s ability to present us to leading US engineering and procurement firms,” said Mr. Jung. “Despite 30 years of supplying major mills in Korea and Japan, we struggled to enter the U.S. market independently. Joining the consortium over a decade ago was the best strategic decision we made.”
