Founded in 1910
The Hitachi Group was founded in 1910 by Namihei Odaira, a Japanese electrical engineer determined to produce original products and technologies in Japan. Over the years, the Hitachi Group has grown to supply products and services that meet society’s demands across diverse industries.
Hitachi is now a respected global infrastructure solutions company with more than 320,000 employees worldwide from humble beginnings. Although more than 100 years have passed, Mr Odaira’s drive to innovate still permeates Hitachi today, with many game-changing products among its achievements.
