Hitachi (ISIN JP3788600009) is investing CAD 479 million in a new transformer-insulation factory in Canada, giving Hitachi stock a fresh industrial expansion story. The announcement was made on October 16, 2026, by Hitachi Energy, a wholly owned Hitachi subsidiary.

Canada factory sets a capacity test

The planned facility in London, Ontario, will cover 21,000 square meters and is expected to create more than 100 permanent skilled jobs. Production is scheduled to begin by 2028, while the site will manufacture pressboard and laminated insulation materials for high-voltage transformers, according to Hitachi Energy.

The project is part of a broader commitment to invest more than USD 2 billion in the North American supply chain through 2027. For investors, the strategic value sits in transformer capacity, but the financial payoff depends on construction and execution over the next two years.
