In 1920, Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan) was established with a paid-up capital of 10 million yen. Since then the company has manufactured over 20,000 different products, including electrical appliances, industrial machinery, generators, computers and all kinds of electronic components.

Hitachi in Thailand
As Southeast Asia has developed over the last few decades, there has been an increasing demand for high-quality electronic products which was initially met by Japanese imports. The growing market led to the establishment of a Hitachi office in Bangkok in 1958 and in 1970, Hitachi Consumer Products (Thailand) Ltd. began to manufacture household electronics in Thailand under the name
U.E.I. – Hitachi Co., Ltd.

However, as Thailand’s industrial sector grew, there was an ever-increasing demand for quality electronic motors. And so, in 1989, Hitachi Industrial Technology (Thailand) Limited (HITT) was founded in Samut Prakan province. Since then, the company has grown into one of the most productive and respected electronics manufacturers in Thailand.

Producing motors and other products for both export and the domestic market, HITT’s products are in great demand. Backed by Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan), the company has built up a highly-experienced management team and a skilled Thai workforce.

In 1995, to cope with the growing demand for its products, the company commenced construction of a new factory in Kabin Buri District, in Prachin Buri Province. This factory was completed in February 1996 and production commenced in April that year.

Hitachi Industrial Technology (Thailand) Limited specialises in the production of industrial equipment, such as motors, vortex blowers, circuit breakers and switches.

One step ahead: Hitachi’s production technology
To ensure that all of its products meet the high standards that customers have come to expect, Hitachi Industrial Technology (Thailand) Limited employs state-of-the-art technology and ensures that employees receive intensive training so that they are familiar with all stages of production.

The manufacture of such products as motors and vortex blowers requires precise engineering. To this end, HITT uses Computer Aided Design (CAD) to ensure that every aspect of the design is carefully monitored and standardised and the exact needs of customers are met quickly and efficiently.

As Hitachi insists that only products of the highest possible quality leave its manufacturing plants, quality control is of the utmost importance. All products have to achieve the strict requirements of the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2000 standards accreditation.

Bright future
HITT is set to expand its operations and widen its product range to meet increasing demand by its customers for high-quality electronic products. The company will pursue further innovation so as to be able to provide ideal solutions for customers, both in Thailand and abroad. Moreover, HITT will continue to be a responsible member of society and contribute to the growth and development of Thailand and its people.
