LX Pantos Americas Strengthens Commitment to Virginia’s Growing Role in Global Trade Through VMA26 Sponsorship

Helping Advance Industry Collaboration, Innovation and the Future of Global Supply Chains

SEOUL, South Korea and TEANECK, N.J., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LX Pantos Americas is proud to announce its Regional Sponsorship and participation in the VMA26 International Trade Symposium, a premier industry event that brings together business leaders, innovators and supply chain professionals to explore the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of global trade and maritime commerce. The event will take place October 13-15 at the Hilton Norfolk The Main in Norfolk, Virginia.

LX Pantos Americas’ participation in VMA26 reflects the company’s deep commitment to maritime transportation and growing investment in Virginia as a strategic gateway for global trade. The company has strengthened its presence in the Commonwealth through recent Memorandums of Understanding with The Port of Virginia and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), reinforcing a shared focus on trade growth, supply chain innovation and economic development. These relationships position LX Pantos Americas to support customers with enhanced connectivity and logistics solutions while contributing to Virginia’s role as a leading hub for international commerce.

As economic ties between the United States and Korea continue to expand, LX Pantos Americas is closely aligned with the opportunities emerging from increased Korean investment across North American manufacturing, infrastructure and transportation networks. The company is actively evaluating opportunities related to the anticipated $150 billion shipbuilding collaboration initiative between the U.S. and Korea and the broader supply chain ecosystem it is expected to support. LX Pantos Americas will host a private executive roundtable during VMA26, bringing together business and supply chain leaders to explore how strategic investment, collaboration and resilient infrastructure can be leveraged to create long-term competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.

LX Pantos Americas CEO David Bang will participate in Late Night Freight on Thursday, October 15, at 11:15 a.m. with host Eric Jehu, VP, Logistics for the VEDP, where he provides primary staff leadership for developing and implementing strategies to promote employment growth within Virginia’s logistics industry. The session will bring together leaders from the legal, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors to discuss the policy, infrastructure and investment priorities shaping the future of supply chains. Bang will share LX Pantos Americas’ “supply chain forward” perspective, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, strategic investment and policy alignment in building resilient supply chains and supporting sustainable industry growth.

Reflecting its commitment to fostering future industry talent, LX Pantos Americas will sponsor a student’s participation in VMA26 and welcome a student guest to its sponsored table at the Maritime Banquet, helping connect emerging professionals with industry leaders while supporting the next generation of maritime, logistics and international trade talent.

“Virginia continues to play an increasingly important role in global trade, making VMA26 an ideal forum to discuss the opportunities created by growing investment and collaboration across the supply chain ecosystem,” said David Bang, CEO of LX Pantos Americas. “As economic ties between the United States and Korea deepen, we see significant potential to strengthen maritime transportation, infrastructure and logistics networks. Through our partnerships in Virginia and engagement with industry leaders at VMA26, we look forward to contributing to conversations that help transform investment into long-term economic growth and supply chain resilience.”
