Hitachi Energy Invests in Building a New Transformer Factory in Pindamonhangaba (SP) to Double Its Production in Brazil and Meet the Demand for Renewable Energy and Data Centers.

Hitachi Energy has confirmed the start of construction of a new factory for high-power electrical transformers in Pindamonhangaba (SP), with an expected completion date in 2028.

The strategic location in the Paraíba Valley — between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and close to ports — was essential for the choice, while the project aims to meet the growing demand for energy infrastructure, especially for renewable energy and data centers.

The new unit will be the third factory of the company in the country, joining the existing ones in Guarulhos (SP) and Blumenau (SC).

Strategic Location and Operational Timeline

The factory will be built in Pindamonhangaba, chosen for its proximity to urban centers, highways, and important ports, such as Itaguaí and Santos. This location favors logistics and supplies.

The timeline foresees full operation by 2028.

This investment marks a significant expansion of Hitachi Energy in Brazil, reinforcing its role in the energy transition and supporting the national grid.

With this new factory, the company will increase its production capacity and serve strategically growing sectors — such as renewables and technology — while generating jobs and development in the Paraíba Valley.

Another point highlighted by the company is the environmental commitment. The new factory in Pindamonhangaba will be built with a focus on energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction.

Hitachi Energy aims to support the global transition to a more sustainable electric system by investing in solutions that integrate renewable sources, such as solar and wind, into the transmission grids.

The company has already indicated that the facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technologies for manufacturing more efficient transformers, capable of reducing energy losses and meeting the growing demand for reliability in the electric system.

History of Hitachi Energy in Brazil

Present in Brazil for decades, Hitachi Energy already has a factory in Guarulhos (SP), dedicated to electrical equipment and digital solutions.

The new factory in Pindamonhangaba will complement this structure, increasing production capacity and reinforcing the country’s role as an export center for other markets in Latin America.

This movement follows the global trend of the company, which has increased investments in strategic regions to address a rapidly transforming energy sector.

Currently, the country is among the largest producers of clean energy, with emphasis on hydro, wind, and solar sources.

With the growing demand for more sustainable and reliable electricity, Hitachi Energy’s new unit reinforces Brazil’s importance on the global energy map.

Additionally, it brings direct benefits to the industry, consumers, and society by promoting innovation, sustainability, and economic development.

History of Hitachi Energy in Brazil

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.

Chinese giant chooses SC to set up its first factory in Brazil, investing R$ 250 million and producing MRI machines costing R$ 10 million each, with 100 direct jobs and 5% of revenue allocated to research.

After selling a unit for R$ 115 million to pay off debts, a traditional factory in SC founded in 1932 has a new R$ 64.8 million plan denied by the court and retains about 690 workers in Joinville.

Use of slimming pens skyrockets in Brazil, surpasses the global average, and causes unexpected changes in consumption habits, diet, beauty, and the wellness market.
