Hitachi advanced into domestic production of automotive electric parts in 1930. Automotive Products Division within the company was organized in 1964 and after 1985, the company started businesses in North America, Europe and Asia areas. Additionally, it merged former TOKICO, Ltd and Hitachi Unisia Automotive, Ltd., in 2004 to further advance the development of the company. Through these histories, it has developed and expanded its business in the last 80 years.
In order to strengthen the competitiveness and develop a business with rapid decision making capabilities in the current intensive market with strict requirements, Hitachi Automotive Systems Ltd. was established on July 1st, 2009 by splitting off of Automotive Systems from Hitachi, Ltd.
Automotive markets have addressed further technical innovation for environment conservation and improved safety. Within the market where electronics and electromechanical engineering are boosting, Hitachi Automotive Systems is aiming at becoming the global system supplier by concentrating its business resources on automotive systems that contributes to environment and safety by fusing automotive system technologies which it has nourished for many years and electronics technologies that Hitachi has excelled at.
We thank you and appreciate your kindness and continuous support.
