HITACHI's full takeover of ABB grid will go hand in hand with Germany's Siemens

Release Time:2018-12-18

The news that ABB plans to sell its power equipment business, which has been rumored since October, has finally come to an end. It was determined that Hitachi had reached an agreement with ABB to acquire a 80.1 percent stake in its grid subsidiary for $6.2 billion million, its biggest buyout since it was founded in 1910. According to the announcement, the transaction will be carried out in the form of a joint venture. ABB will initially continue to hold the remaining 19.9 per cent of the shares, which it can choose to sell three years after the transaction is completed, and Hitachi has a purchase option on this part of the shares. Hitachi plans to invest billions more over the next five years or so to fully take over ABB's power grid business.

We are an in­de­pen­dent brand­ing stu­dio and cre­ative busi­ness part­ner for clients who are ready for ex­tra­or­di­nary so­lu­tions. To de­liver such so­lu­tions we dig deep into a brand’s essence and val­ues, clearly un­der­stand them, and then in­ject them into the de­sign. 


This is the surest way to move be­yond de­sign for de­sign’s sake and give con­sumers a brand that is both un­de­ni­ably rel­e­vant and in­cred­i­bly en­gag­ing. Sure, it’s also a process by which we’ve been com­pet­ing with world’s lead­ing brands and won many re­spectable awards. But awards aren’t our goal. While they pro­vide proof of our cre­ativ­ity, the ap­pre­ci­a­tion of our works and of­fer cred­i­bil­ity that comes from peer recog­ni­tion, they are ul­ti­mately a means to ac­quir­ing ever more dif­fi­cult chal­lenges. And that is ul­ti­mately what get’s us up in the morn­ing:the thrill of work­ing with clients to try and tackle in­creas­ingly chal­leng­ing brand­ing prob­lems that then lead to suc­cess­ful busi­nesses for clients. In­trigued? Why not give us a shout to­day and see how we can trans­form your brand and your busi­ness.
