LIG Nex1 Co., Ltd. (Korean: 엘아이지넥스원; RR: Elaiji Nekseuweon), formerly known as NEX1 Future is a South Korean aerospace manufacturer and defense company. It was established in 1976 as Goldstar Precision. LIG Nex1 was previously owned by LIG Holdings Company, which in turn was owned by the LIG Group.

The company changed its name to LG Innotek (Korean: LG이노텍; RR: Elji Inotek) in 2000, and since 2004 it has been incorporated as a subsidiary of LIG Group under the name Nex1 Future (Korean: 넥스원퓨처; RR: Nekseuweon Pyucheo), and changed its name to LIG Nex1 in 2007.[1]
