At the White House meeting, on October 14, Samsung promised to operate 24/7 within the next 90 days and deliver another 5,000 containers (an increase of approximately 60%) to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

In addition to 72% of American households owning one or more Samsung products, the US is also one of Samsung’s largest consumer markets. The COVID-19 epidemic has brought many challenges to Samsung’s economy and industry, including the disruption of the global supply chain. (via Sammyfans)

Samsung recently invited KS Choi, President, and CEO of Samsung North America, to discuss supply solutions with Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Minister Pete Buttigieg, National Economic Council Director Brian Deez, and other corporate executives and executives.

During the meeting, Samsung worked with its trading partners and promised to deliver another 5,000 containers (an increase of approximately 60%) to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach within the next 90 days. To achieve this goal, we will work with our truck suppliers and take advantage of the port’s expansion to 24/7 operations.

Samsung has the highest production capacity in the United States and has been in service for more than 40 years. Although we have a large amount of American production capacity in South Carolina to make semiconductors and washing machines in Texas, we understand that solving the problem of port congestion is a top priority to ensure that American consumers have the appliances and equipment that consumers want and need.

72% of American households own one or more Samsung products, and the US is one of Samsung’s largest and most important consumer markets. Therefore, Samsung is committed to becoming part of this very important solution and will continue to work with our management and business partners on these key issues. Through this joint venture, the company is confident of overcoming sourcing challenges.
