Hitachi Energy, a global leader in electrification, announced a $300 million USD investment in China to strengthen its global manufacturing footprint and address rapidly growing demand for transformers. The investment will bolster the company’s power transformer and component manufacturing capacity in Hefei, East China’s Anhui Province, strengthening the resilience of the global transformer value chain to help ease supply chain constraints.
Highlights:
- Investment expands Hitachi Energy’s power transformer and component manufacturing capacity and expertise in China
- New capacity reinforces global transformers’ value chain and eases supply bottlenecks
- Leverages China’s manufacturing, innovation, and talent strengths to support the demand for mission-critical grid equipment
This investment underscores China’s strategic importance to the company’s global growth ambitions and supply chain resilience. It forms part of the company’s $9 billion global investment plan, the largest in the industry, to expand manufacturing capacity, engineering, R&D, and partnerships, as global demand for energy solutions continues to accelerate.
