'''Hitachi''' is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is a key component of the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX Core30 indices. As of November 2023, it has a market capitalisation of 9.67 trillion yen, making it the twelfth largest Japanese company by market value.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Japan: largest domestic companies by market cap 2023 |url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/1050429/market-cap-major-listed-domestic-companies-japan/ |access-date=2023-11-24 |website=Statista |language=en}}</ref> In terms of global recognition, Hitachi was ranked 38th in the 2012 Fortune Global 500 and 129th in the 2012 Forbes Global 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Global 500 2014|url = https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/global500/2012/full_list/|access-date = 2015-04-29|archive-date = 2020-11-25|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201125024633/https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/global500/2012/full_list/|url-status = live}}</ref>

Hitachi is a highly globalised conglomerate. In the fiscal year 2022, it generated approximately 61% of its total revenue of 10.9 trillion yen from international markets. The major contributors to this global revenue were [[Earth:Asia|Asia]], [[Earth:Europe|Europe]], and [[Earth:North America|North America]], with each region accounting for 24%, 14%, and 17% of the total revenue, respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hitachi Investor Day : Investor Relations : Hitachi Global |url=https://www.hitachi.com/IR-e/library/irday/index.html |access-date=2023-11-24 |website=www.hitachi.com}}</ref>

== Overview ==
Hitachi, since its founding in 1910 by engineer Namihei Odaira, has been driven by the mission to 'contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Hitachi Group Identity : Hitachi Global |url=https://www.hitachi.com/corporate/about/identity/details.html#:~:text=The%20Hitachi%20Group%20aims%20to%20help%20create%20a%20society%20that,by%20%22Inspiring%20the%20World%22. |access-date=2023-11-24 |website=www.hitachi.com}}</ref> This ethos is evident in its leadership, as all its 12 CEOs, including founder Odaira, have been from engineering backgrounds. Remarkably, 8 out of the 12 consecutive CEOs, including Odaira, are alumni of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Engineering.<ref>{{Cite web |last=日経ビジネス電子版 |title=日本製鉄を率いる"異例"の社長、相次ぎ揺らぐ「東大閥」 |url=https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/NBD/19/depth/00009/ |access-date=2023-11-24 |website=日経ビジネス電子版 |language=ja}}</ref>

Historically recognised for its technology and industrial products, including [[Engineering:Electric generator|electric generator]]s, [[Engineering:Consumer electronics|consumer electronics]], [[Engineering:Train|train]]s, [[Computer|computer]]s, and [[Physics:Nuclear reactor|nuclear reactor]]s, Hitachi faced a pivotal moment following the [[Finance:2007–2008 financial crisis|2008 global financial crisis]]. This crisis led to a record loss of 787.3 billion yen, prompting a strategic overhaul. The company concentrated its efforts on the 'Social Innovation Business', capitalising on its strengths in infrastructure and IT, and underwent major structural changes. These involved consolidating unprofitable operations and venturing into new fields such as digital systems and [[Engineering:Renewable energy|renewable energy]], adapting to changing market dynamics. As a result of these strategic moves, Hitachi returned to profitability by March 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Story：Hitachi Origin Story：日立 |url=https://www.hitachi.co.jp/about/origin/story.html?e=2008 |access-date=2023-11-24 |website=www.hitachi.co.jp}}</ref>

Today, Hitachi's corporate activities are organised into three large sections: Digital Systems and Services, Green Energy and Mobility, and Connective Industries.

The Digital Systems and Services segment features Lumada, in which Hitachi provides advanced digital solutions that leverage data and technology to drive transformation and efficiency in various industries. This segment focuses on optimising business processes and enhancing operational efficiency through data-driven insights and innovative technologies.

== History ==
=== Founding (1910-1945) ===
[[File:Hitachi Logo with symbol.svg|thumb|1968–1992 Hitachi logo, in which visible is the symbol on the left that is still used as its corporate symbol (''monshō'') and in [[Favicon|favicon]]s of some of the group companies like Hitachi Rail and Hitachi Astemo|alt=Former Hitachi logo (1968–1992).]]Founded in 1910 in Ibaraki Prefecture by electrical engineer Namihei Odaira, Hitachi's first product was Japan's inaugural 4-kilowatt induction motor, designed for copper mining.<ref>{{cite web |title=Little Known Facts About Hitachi |url=http://us.hitachi-solutions.com/miraibio/blog/little-known-facts-about-hitachi |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826120454/http://us.hitachi-solutions.com/miraibio/blog/little-known-facts-about-hitachi |archive-date=26 August 2014 |access-date=8 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hitachi SuccessStory |url=https://successstory.com/companies/hitachi |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310182637/http://successstory.com/companies/hitachi |archive-date=10 March 2016 |access-date=10 December 2020 |website=SuccessStory}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2010-06-29 |title=History (1910–1959) : Hitachi Global |url=http://hitachi.com/about/corporate/history |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200919082454/http://www.hitachi.com/about/corporate/history/ |archive-date=2020-09-19 |access-date=2013-01-07 |publisher=Hitachi.com}}</ref> Originally an in-house venture of Fusanosuke Kuhara's mining company, Hitachi became independent in 1911 and moved its headquarters to Tokyo in 1918. The company's name 'Hitachi', combining the kanji for 'sun' (日, '''''hi''''') and 'rise' (立, '''''tachi'''''), was coined by Odaira.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Francis McInerney |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ql9Sri-LbisC |title=The Total Quality Corporation |author2=Sean White |publisher=North River Ventures |year=1995 |isbn=9780525939283 |page=95 |access-date=2020-05-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701115031/https://books.google.com/books?id=ql9Sri-LbisC |archive-date=2023-07-01 |url-status=live}}</ref> While industrial machinery in Japan was usually powered by steam at the time, Odaira built water power stations in the mine and electrified almost all facilities in the factory. This led to the accumulation of expertise in electrical engineering, and helped the company develop various electrical equipment later in its history. In 1924, Hitachi completed Japan's first mainline electric locomotive (JNR Class ED15). In 1932, the company started manufacturing elevators and electric refrigerators.<ref>{{Cite web |title=沿革：1910～1960：日立 |url=https://www.hitachi.co.jp/about/corporate/history/1910.html |access-date=2023-12-16 |website=www.hitachi.co.jp}}</ref>

=== Post-war reconstruction and expansion (1945-1990) ===
World War II and its aftermath significantly impacted Hitachi, leading to the destruction of factories, post-war internal discord, and the removal of founder Namihei Odaira by the Allied occupational forces. Hitachi went public in 1949, listing on the Tokyo Exchange (TYO:6501). Odaira returned to the company in 1951 when the purge of key pre-war Japanese figures ended. However, he died in October of the same year at age 77.
[[File:MARS1(1).jpg|left|thumb|193x193px|MARS-1 central computer preserved at the Railway Museum]]
Despite these challenges, Hitachi demonstrated strong resilience, quickly recovering its pre-war production and technology levels and expanding its business scope. In 1949, Hitachi built its first power shovel, marking the start of what is now [[Company:Hitachi Construction Machinery|Hitachi Construction Machinery]]. The company also innovated in electric generators during this period. Furthermore, in 1960, Hitachi developed the world's first electric train seat reservation system, [[Software:MARS (ticket reservation system)|MARS-1]], for Japanese National Railways, allowing nationwide booking for express train seats.<ref name=":3" />

Around the same time, Hitachi began expanding its business overseas, with the establishment of Hitachi America, Ltd. 1959.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|url=http://www.hitachi.com/about/corporate/history/index.html|title=History (1910–1959)|access-date=11 November 2012|publisher=Hitachi|archive-date=6 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200506202951/http://www.hitachi.com/about/corporate/history/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[File:JR tokai shinkansen 0kei.jpg|thumb|Hitachi played a crucial role in the development of the Shinkansen]]
In 1961, Hitachi began selling fully-automated washing machines and completed its first experimental nuclear reactor.

In 1964, the world's first high-speed railway line, the [[Engineering:Shinkansen|Shinkansen]], opened. Hitachi not only built the innovative [[Engineering:0 Series Shinkansen|Series 0 rolling stock]] but also played a crucial part in developing the equally pioneering Automatic Train Control system (ATC) and the Computer-Aided Traffic Control System (COMTRAC). These contributions helped achieve the Shinkansen's punctual and safe operation.<ref name=":4" />

In 1977, Hitachi completed the world's first fully [[Physics:MOX fuel|MOX]]-fuelled nuclear power station, [[Engineering:Fugen Nuclear Power Plant|Fugen]]. This was an innovative initiative, as MOX was seen as an efficient way of utilising [[Chemistry:Plutonium|plutonium]] from nuclear waste, which would otherwise have to be stored in security to ensure that it is not used to build nuclear weapons.

Hitachi Europe, Ltd. was established in 1982.<ref name=":4">{{cite web|url=http://www.hitachi.com/about/corporate/history/1980.html|title=History (1980–1999)|access-date=11 November 2012|publisher=Hitachi|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107035130/http://hitachi.com/about/corporate/history/1980.html|archive-date=7 November 2012}}</ref>

From 2006 to 2010, Hitachi lost US$12.5&nbsp;billion, the largest corporate loss in Japanese history. This prompted Hitachi to restructure and sell a number of divisions and businesses, a process that is expected to end in 2021.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hitachi-restructuring-idUSTRE50T2F920090130|title=Hitachi warns of $7.8 billion loss, to restructure|newspaper=Reuters|date=January 30, 2009|via=www.reuters.com|access-date=December 26, 2019|archive-date=May 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200507005004/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hitachi-restructuring-idUSTRE50T2F920090130|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/Japan-Update/Hitachi-forecasts-record-profit-as-restructuring-pays-off|title=Hitachi forecasts record profit as restructuring pays off|website=Nikkei Asian Review|access-date=2019-12-26|archive-date=2021-01-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210101234308/https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/Japan-Update/Hitachi-forecasts-record-profit-as-restructuring-pays-off|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303630404577389840792383050|title=Hitachi President Prods Turnaround|first=Daisuke|last=Wakabayashi|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|date=May 11, 2012|via=www.wsj.com|access-date=December 26, 2019|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728052327/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303630404577389840792383050|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite thesis|title=Hitachi, the largest Japanese conglomerate, and its transformation in the innovation era|first=Masami|last=Omuro|date=December 26, 2018|publisher = Massachusetts Institute of Technology|hdl = 1721.1/117988|type = Thesis}}</ref>
