Developing the "Lifestyle Zone Solutions Business"
for tomorrow's air conditioning,
all-electric housing and home appliances
Hitachi Appliances, Inc. was established in April 2006 through the merge of Hitachi Air Conditioning Systems Co., Ltd. and Hitachi Home & Life Solutions, Inc. In the sense that the meaning of "appliances" includes familiar products such as home appliances, our name is indicative of a company with a solid technology foundation in manufacturing.
Underpinned by the comprehensive air conditioning, all-electric housing and home appliances businesses, Hitachi Appliances will develop the "Lifestyle Zone Solutions Business" on a global basis to support the evolving lifestyles of people through utilizing the companywide capabilities of Hitachi, Ltd. While air conditioning systems and electrical home appliance products are said to be mature sectors domestically, these areas still offer infinite potential in terms of comfort or flexibility, health and environmental friendliness.
Hitachi Appliances boasts top-level expertise in compressors, the backbone of air conditioning and freezer systems, which range from small rotary compressors to scroll, screw and large centrifugal compressors developed using original technologies and for which we have received respective energy savings and environmental awards. As a means of supporting comfortable and healthy lifestyles, we propose a wide array of electrical home appliances that fully utilize nanotechnology in addition to all-electric housing as the culmination of these achievements. At the same time, we are also leading the way in creating comfortable environments by carrying out in-depth studies related to air quality for commercial air conditioning systems.
In order to pass on a living environment blessed with nature, fresh air and clean water to the next generation, Hitachi Appliances will maintain close contact with the "Lifestyle Zone" in striving to contribute to "quality of life."
