History
Hitachi was founded in 1910 as an electrical repair shop. Today, it is one of the leading manufacturers in new technology.
Hitachi Works
Hitachi Works is the oldest member of the
Hitachi Group and consists of three factories: Kaigan, Yamatte, and Rinkai Works. Yamatte Works, the oldest of the three factories, was founded in
1910 by
Namihei Odaira as an electrical equipment repair and manufacturing facility. This facility was named Hitachi, and is regarded as the ancestral home of Hitachi, Ltd.
Many management trainees intern at Hitachi Works before being permanently assigned to other Hitachi divisions. Senior management personnel are often participants in job rotation at Hitachi Works for a few years as their career develops towards eventual head office stature. As a result, many of the senior managers of Hitachi Ltd. have passed through Hitachi Works.
spinoff entities from Hitachi Works include
Hitachi Cable (1956) and Hitachi Canadian Industries (1988).
