Hitachi

Hitachi, Ltd. (Japanese pronunciation: [çi̥taꜜtɕi]) is a Japanese multinational conglomerate founded in 1910 and headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The company is active in a range of industries, including digital systems, power and renewable energy, railway systems, healthcare products, and financial systems. The company was founded as an electrical machinery manufacturing subsidiary of the Kuhara Mining Plant in Hitachi, Ibaraki by engineer Namihei Odaira in 1910. It started as an independent company under its current name in 1920.

Hitachi is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is a key component of the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX Core30 indices. As of June 2024, it has a market capitalisation of 16.9 trillion yen, making it the fourth largest Japanese company by market value.[6] In terms of global recognition, Hitachi was ranked 38th in the 2012 Fortune Global 500 and 129th in the 2012 Forbes Global 2000.Hitachi is a highly globalised conglomerate. In the fiscal year 2023, it generated approximately 61% of its total revenue of 9.7 trillion yen from international markets. The major contributors to this global revenue were Asia, Europe, and North America, with each region accounting for 22%, 16%, and 16% of the total revenue, respectively.

We offer a range of analytical solutions for reliable, accurate and rapid analysis. Our portfolio of analytical techniques include XRF, OES, LIBS and Thermal Analysis (TA) for a wide range of applications.   Our selection of analytical instruments are optimized for diverse end-use conditions, including in-field, industrial and research laboratory environments.

The OE750 and the NEW OE720 are ground-breaking OES metals analyzers. They cover the complete spectrum of elements in metal* with low detection limits and state-of-the-art multi-CMOS technology.

Tightening of industry regulations, complex supply chains and increased use of scrap as a base material means it’s crucial for foundries and metals manufacturers to control main, residual, tramp and trace elements in the lowest ppm range. Historically, OES analysis at this level was out of reach for many businesses. That’s now changed with the OE series.

These spark spectrometers allow you to analyze all main alloying elements and identify exceptionally low levels of tramp, trace and treatment elements in metals, such as nitrogen in steel. The OE750 also covers rare applications like oxygen in copper and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen in titanium.

Fast measurement times, high reliability and low operating costs mean the OE series is invaluable for everyday analysis and total quality control, with performance on a par with larger and more expensive spectrometers.
