What does this investment mean?
Create new jobs and upskill local workforce with enhanced training programs
Consolidate operations from three facilities into one in Landskrona, Sweden
Double production capacity
For over 40 years, Hitachi Energy’s Landskrona factory has manufactured and supplied advanced cooling systems for power transmission. These systems range from large HVDC converters to vehicle charging infrastructure, where deionized water safely removes heat during conversion between direct and alternating current.
Driven by the global shift toward electrification and the rising demand for transmission solutions, boosting cooling system manufacturing capacity has become essential. Earlier this month, Hitachi Energy announced a major expansion of its cooling systems factory in Landskrona, Sweden. To secure future operations, the company is acquiring the industrial property Björnen 12, which will become the central hub for its ongoing investment and development.
Investing approximately $77 million USD, the new facility enables Hitachi Energy to consolidate its current production and office spaces under one roof. Owning and developing the facility not only provides cost-effectiveness, and flexibility but also supports continued expansion in line with the business’s growth.
