As trading professionals, we support optimum supply chain management.
“Manufacturing” in the high-tech field is heading into a time of intense upheaval. Costs are being rationalized and delivery times shortened to the very utmost. Production bases are scattered around the globe. Optimum management of supply chains is directly linked with global competitiveness, which is why professionals with the proven ability to streamline procurement and logistics are required.
As a team of professionals who possess trading know-how and networks, Hitachi High-Tech is developing business that straddles the entire globe. The main products that we handle include automobile-related components, various industrial materials, electronic devices and materials for semiconductors and LCD, and optical devices and materials. We are focusing in particular on the rapidly expanding environmental and new energy business sector and are increasing our transactions in markets such as solar cell and module-related materials, lithium-ion battery and LED-related materials, and on-board devices for hybrid and electric cars.
As a company with trading functions, our value lies in being sensitively attuned to market trends, anticipating needs and cultivating suppliers who can be the next major players. At the same time, our customers and suppliers want us to make the transition from “a business that procures with one hand and sells with the other” to “a business that provides added value, a style well-suited to us as a company endowed with manufacturing functions.” We will make our presence felt even more strongly by making free use of our global network and maintaining a predominance that our competitors lack.
We will continue to hone our ability to approach things from the customer's perspective, and to advance into even more new markets.
