Farouk Systems, Inc., a Houston-based manufacturer of hair care products, has announced a joint venture with LG Household and Health Care, Ltd. As a result, a new co-owned South Koren company has formed – LG Farouk Co.

LG Farouk Co. says it will bring “the latest technology and advancements to the beauty industry.” The company plans to establish a manufacturing facility in Korea to better serve distribution channels in Asia.

Each company will combine their expertise in technology and product formulations to deliver new product concepts. LG Household and Health Care, Ltd.

Dr. Farouk Shami, a hairdresser who founded Farouk Systems in 1986, says, “This union will not only provide a new form of science from LG but a fresher approach combining art and innovation that Farouk Systems is famous for. Together, we will be able to create and manufacture a whole new future of technology for the beauty industry.”
