Building air conditioning from Hitachi can justifiably be described as the art of exploiting the latest ideas and developments in technology to create a range of innovative products which provide a more comfortable and more productive environment in which people can happily live and work. It is also an art executed with a responsible concern for protecting the environment. Ecological thinking begins at the very first building stages of new product building design and continues throughout production, installation procedures, equipment and operation.Specifiers and users alike can always be assured that performance and costs are not the only parameters by which Hitachi products can be judged.To achieve success with such objectives on a global scale requires not only enormous resources but also a commitment to the future. As one of the largest companies in the world, Hitachi is well positioned to undertake this commitment with confidence that comes from successfully responding to the changing needs of people for over 90 years. In Japanese, Hitachi means sunrise – we are the forefront of research and development turning new ideas and innovations into new products. Of its $80.9 billion sales worldwide in 2005, close to 4.3% was invested in research and development programs. This vast amount of money has given HITACHI the opportunity to conceive many ‘world firsts’ – examples of which include the technologically advanced and acclaimed scroll and semi-hermetic Screw compressors.These have been incorporated in Hitachi’s air conditioning systems and water building chillers which have revolutionised air conditioning worldwide. In 1993 HITACHI invested in a new purpose built, state of the art factory (HAPE) in Barcelona, Spain. The site of the factory was carefully chosen to accommodate further building on its 40,000 square meter site. The creation of a European manufacturing facility and customer training centre helps reduce production costs, speed up delivery times and enables full support to be given to all customers.Hitachi’s advanced air conditioning products are specified all over the world, wherever there is a requirement for ultimate performance and cost effective, long term reliability. A wide range of units coupled with a choice of advanced control systems mean Hitachi can provide solutions to meet every possible air conditioning application or specification.
