Hitachi Information

Hitachi has been a driving force behind much of the technological progress that has helped increase the quality of life for people across the globe. Hitachi has been steadily growing its market share in dynamic sectors, including energy, railway systems, social infrastructure, and a range of IT systems.

Furthermore, Hitachi has always worked to solve the most pressing challenges facing society through the development of social infrastructure technologies that raise the quality of life. In recent years, Hitachi has contributed to achieving a sustainable society. With a history of pioneering new fields for innovation, Hitachi is now applying this legacy as it leads the charge for a more sustainable future.

It is only natural that the public-facing aspects of a business will remain front of mind for the majority of consumers, and there may still be people who perceive Hitachi primarily as an appliance company. Hitachi’s journey in the U.S. began in 1926 when Hitachi commenced trade by exporting 30 electric fans to the U.S.

In the beginning, it was mainly from the export of infrastructure system products, and Hitachi America, Ltd. was established in 1959. Since then, Hitachi has expanded its sales and manufacturing operations as well as its partners and customers in the U.S.

From building the first-ever Japan-made air compressor in 1911 to introducing the world’s first single-stage oil-free screw air compressor in 1982, and as one of the leading air compressor manufacturers in Japan, Hitachi has always strived for innovation in both product and technology of air compressors.

In 2017, Sullair, a world-renowned air compressor manufacturer, joined the Hitachi Group and with an extended lineup, they are more inspired than ever to bring exceptional support and satisfaction to their valued customers worldwide.

Today, Hitachi’s presence and commitment to the U.S. economy has grown into 17 significant research and development (R&D) facilities, 52 main manufacturing sites, 75 Group Companies, and over 21,200 employees.

Hitachi air compressors are imported into the United States from Japan by Hitachi Koki U.S.A., Ltd. and are sold throughout the U.S. and Canada by the same retail establishments that sell the Hitachi lines of air tools and accessories – outlets like Lowes, Home Depot, and the Canadian Tire chain.

Clearance of outdated and other models of Hitachi air compressors can be found on Amazon and other online outlets as well.
