Used LS Mtron Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

LS Mtron's injection molding machine business traces its origins to 1969, when LG — then known as Lucky Goldstar — began producing presses at its Changwon plant under a technical partnership with Japan's Toshiba Machine. The machines were initially built to supply LG's own vast plastics manufacturing operations, producing components for LG-branded televisions, appliances, and electronics. After a decade of building under license, LG's engineers developed proprietary designs, and the program grew into one of Korea's most significant machinery businesses. In 2008, the LS Group formally established LS Mtron as a standalone company, and the injection molding machine brand transitioned from the LG name to LS.

The LGH series of horizontal hydraulic injection molding machines was the backbone of LS Mtron's lineup for many years and remains widely represented on the used market. The LGH-D series covered toggle-clamp hydraulic presses in the 80-to-350-ton range, while the two-platen LGH-M series addressed large-tonnage applications from 450 to 1,050 tons. Machines in the LGH-N and LGH-650M configurations extended the range further, offering servo-hydraulic efficiency in mid-to-large clamp forces. Newer platform families — including the WIZ servo-hydraulic series and the all-electric WIZ-E series — have since expanded the lineup, but the LGH-series presses built during the 2000s established LS Mtron's reputation for robust, production-proven horizontal machines.

LS Mtron injection molding machines serve a broad range of end markets. Automotive parts manufacturing — including interior trim, structural components, and under-hood parts — is a primary application, as is consumer electronics and home appliance component production. Logistics and industrial packaging, medical device manufacturing, and cosmetics packaging round out the key industries. The company's heritage as an in-house molder for one of the world's largest electronics conglomerates means its machines were engineered for demanding, high-volume production environments from the outset.

Buyers seeking used LS Mtron injection molding machines are drawn to the brand for several practical reasons. The LGH-series presses were built with heavy-duty castings using high-grade Korean steel and benefit from a vertically integrated supply chain that kept component quality consistent. Parts availability is supported by LS Mtron's established North American service network, which includes technical centers and parts depots across the United States. The machines' servo-hydraulic systems deliver meaningful energy savings compared to older fixed-pump hydraulics, and their straightforward control architecture makes them accessible for maintenance teams. Strong resale values reflect the durability and continued demand for these presses across automotive, packaging, and general-purpose molding shops.
