LS Cable and System, the country’s largest producer of cables and wires, joined the growing ranks of large firms promoting shared-growth with small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Shared-growth refers to large companies’ efforts to support smaller suppliers and associated companies’ expansion efforts, which has gained increasing attention with the government promoting it as a major policy.
