Seoul (VNA) - LS Eco Energy, the Vietnamese subsidiary of the Republic of Korea’s LS Cable & System, is planning to build submarine cable plants in Vietnam and Europe to capitalise on the soaring demand for extra-high-voltage submarine cables.

The company held a "Value Up Day" on May 30 where it unveiled its medium- and long-term growth strategy.

In the newly released strategy, it plans to enhance efforts regarding its submarine cable and rare-earth magnet business for its continuous growth. It also looks to raise sales by 2.5 times by 2030.
