This post is also available in: Japanese

Hitachi Energy has announced it will invest $4.5bn in its Swedish and Indian operations over the next three years. Hitachi Energy is the product of Hitachi’s acquisition in 2020 of ABB’s power grids business. ABB was itself the product of the merger of the Swiss Brown, Boveri & Cie and the Swedish Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget in 1988.

In Sweden the investment will go towards expanding an existing factory and building a new plant, which will include a research and development center. It is expected the investment in Sweden and India will lead to an additional 3,500 employees. Hitachi Energy already has over 1,000 employees in Sweden.
