  Germany, Feb., 2020 - On January 30^th, 2020, LG Chem - Korea's leading manufacturer of advanced batteries - held the Top Installer Award for the 3rd time to reward its top 9 installers in Europe with the highest sales record in the European market in 2019 based on sales records registered by installers on the LG Home Battery website. LG Chem invited them to one of Germany's most well-known castle, the Wartburg, to once again provide unique experience to its valued guests.

  The Top 9 RESU battery installers include:

• Kuehn Solar (Germany)

To lighten up, LG Chem arranged an exclusive 90 minutes tour of the Wartburg castle, most renowned as the place where Martin Luther translated the New Testament of the Bible into German. The tour started after the last tourist left the castle, which made that moment more special.

After the tour, LG Chem and the installers gathered again for the rewarding ceremony. The 9 installers from Germany and Italy received trophies in appreciation of the great success they exhibited in the distribution of LG Chem home battery. LG Chem also presented the installers with vouchers which can be used to purchase LG RESU products at a discounted price within the LG Chem "RESU Points Program".
