Hitachi Energy, a subsidiary of the Hitachi conglomerate, inaugurated on Thursday its new Power Transformers Factory and Service Center in Kocaeli's Dilovası, an industrial hub in northwestern Türkiye.

"The new facility represents a strategic investment to strengthen manufacturing capacity, service capabilities, and support the accelerating energy transition across Türkiye and key export markets," the company said.

Launched with an opening ceremony, the facility stands out as one of the significant investments in the company's nearly 60-year history of transformer production in Türkiye.

The facility, brought to life within the scope of a strategic investment of $70 million (TL 2.8 billion) announced in 2025, aims to strengthen Türkiye's position as a regional hub for production, export, and service between Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

With this new investment, Hitachi Energy's production capacity in Türkiye is set to increase by 70%, thereby supporting the country's growing need for a reliable, flexible, and sustainable energy infrastructure.
