Our Heritage
Since 1910, Hitachi has been at the forefront of innovation.
Founded by Namihei Odaira, Hitachi began with Japan’s first electric motor, driven by a belief that innovation must serve society.
His belief that innovation should serve society, and that companies succeed through their people, became the foundation of Hitachi, Ltd., and remains central to everything we do today.
Hitachi Solutions builds on this legacy, combining global scale with deep local expertise. As part of the wider Hitachi group, we draw on the knowledge, experience, and insights of hundreds of organisations around the world, while staying focused on solving real-world challenges for our customers.
Our heritage inspires us to continually evolve, leveraging proven expertise and cutting-edge Microsoft technology, and world-class people to help organisations adapt, grow, and thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
Our Values
Our values are inspired by the principles established by Hitachi’s founders and continue to shape our culture, decisions, and behaviors today.
