Hitachi Energy Ag
Hitachi Energy AG is a Swiss company registered with the Swiss commercial register (Handelsregister) under UID CHE-339.599.331, with a separate VAT identification number of CHE-319.647.518. Registry data records an incorporation date of 20 September 2018 and an active registration status. The company is organised as an Aktiengesellschaft — a company limited by shares under Swiss law — with registered share capital of CHF 1.3 million, and its registered address is Brown-Boveri-Strasse 5, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland, an address that the company’s own public materials identify as Hitachi Energy’s global headquarters.
According to its registered business purpose, Hitachi Energy AG develops, manufactures and markets products and systems for power-grid automation, grid integration, high-voltage equipment and power transformers, and is authorised to establish branches, acquire holdings and provide financing to related companies. Operating under the Hitachi Energy brand, the business supplies utilities, industrial customers and infrastructure operators with technology for electricity transmission, distribution and grid digitalisation, including equipment supporting renewable-energy integration and electrification; reported end markets include electric utilities, data centres, industrial and marine customers, and renewable-energy developers. The company’s website describes a business heritage in power technologies spanning more than a century, tracing to activities later combined under the ABB and, from 2020, Hitachi Energy names. Hitachi Energy states publicly that it operates in around 90 countries; this figure could not be independently corroborated against a primary filing during this research.
Public reporting associates the wider Hitachi Energy business with revenue of approximately US$16 billion and roughly 58,000 to 60,000 employees worldwide in recent fiscal years. These figures are reported at the level of the global Hitachi Energy business rather than as standalone, company-only financial statements for Hitachi Energy AG, and were not independently confirmed against a primary annual report during this research. The Hitachi Energy business was formed on 1 July 2020 from the former ABB Power Grids division and was rebranded from Hitachi ABB Power Grids to Hitachi Energy in October 2021. Hitachi Energy AG is not itself listed on any stock exchange.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Hitachi Energy AG
Switzerland’s commercial register (Handelsregister/Zefix) does not publish a public register of shareholders or ownership percentages for privately held stock corporations (Aktiengesellschaft); registry extracts disclose the company’s registered share capital, legal form and authorised signatories, but not its share register. Registry data confirms share capital of CHF 1.3 million but does not name any shareholder of Hitachi Energy AG. No dedicated beneficial-ownership filing naming a direct shareholder of this specific legal entity was located during this research. Publicly reported information instead concerns ownership of the wider Hitachi Energy business at group level (see the group-structure section of this profile), which is not the same as a filed shareholder record for Hitachi Energy AG itself. Disclosure of Hitachi Energy AG’s own shareholder register is therefore assessed as Not public. The underlying Swiss registry data reviewed was last refreshed on 11 August 2026.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified natural-person ultimate beneficial owner was identified for Hitachi Energy AG. Publicly reported group transactions indicate that Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan, Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6501) holds full ownership of the wider Hitachi Energy business following ABB Ltd.’s divestment of its remaining 19.9% interest, announced as completed on 28 December 2022. Hitachi, Ltd. is itself a widely held, publicly listed company, and no complete, dated ownership chain down to a natural person could be constructed from the sources reviewed. No calculated effective-ownership percentage for an individual is therefore reported.
Data availability
Shareholder and beneficial-ownership information for Hitachi Energy AG is Not public at the level of the Swiss commercial register. Only group-level corporate-ownership reporting concerning the wider Hitachi Energy business is available externally, and this has not been matched to a specific Swiss shareholding filing for Hitachi Energy AG during this research.

Officers
30
Directors and officers of Hitachi Energy AG
Swiss commercial-register data records a large number of individuals holding a company role at Hitachi Energy AG: internal registry-sourced data lists 30 active officer entries, and a separately retrieved registry extract for the same Handelsregister filing lists approximately 49 individuals holding a company function. Named board members (Verwaltungsrat) identified in the registry extract are Lorena Dellagiovanna, Akihide Hirao and Shashank Samant. The great majority of the remaining individuals hold “Kollektivunterschrift zu zweien” — collective signing authority requiring two authorised signatories to act together — rather than sole signing power; examples identified in registry-sourced data include Thomas Eberle, Rafaela Vogt, Sylvia Schneider, Pascal Daleiden and Stephane Rohrbach, among many others not listed individually here. All reviewed appointments are recorded as active, with no resignation or termination dates found. The Swiss register records a correspondence-related country code for some individuals (for example CH or DE) for administrative purposes only; this is not a declaration of nationality or residence.
Recent officer changes
One dated appointment was identified in the data reviewed: Pascal Daleiden was granted collective (two-signature) authority effective 1 November 2019, per registry-sourced data. No further dated appointments, resignations, removals or role changes were identified in the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Officer information for Hitachi Energy AG is Partial: the Swiss commercial register discloses named board members and authorised signatories together with their signing-authority type, but does not disclose nationality, date of birth, or occupation as distinct from signing authority. Appointment dates are available for only a minority of the officers reviewed, and country of residence is not separately disclosed. Nationality is not disclosed by the Swiss register and is not stated here.

Group Structure
Group structure of Hitachi Energy AG
Hitachi Energy AG operates as part of the wider Hitachi Energy business within the Hitachi Group. ABB Ltd. and Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan, Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6501) jointly announced that ABB completed the divestment of its remaining 19.9% interest in the Hitachi Energy business to Hitachi on 28 December 2022, following an initial 2020 transaction in which Hitachi acquired an 80.1% interest in ABB’s former Power Grids division; Hitachi, Ltd. is accordingly reported as sole owner of the Hitachi Energy business at group level. This confirmed transaction has not been independently matched during this research to a Swiss share-transfer filing naming Hitachi Energy AG specifically. Separate internal Zavia corporate-linkage data (an aggregator-derived dataset, not a filed ownership document) identifies Hitachi International (Holland) B.V. (Netherlands) as a possible intermediate holding company between Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Energy AG, and identifies a very large number of Hitachi-Energy-branded operating companies across dozens of countries — including Hitachi Energy Holdings AG, Hitachi Energy Finance AG and Hitachi Energy Participations AG in Switzerland — as apparent subsidiaries beneath Hitachi Energy AG. None of these intermediate-holding or subsidiary relationships were independently verified against an official filing during this research.

Additional entities appearing in internal corporate-linkage data — including Hitachi International (Holland) B.V. as a possible intermediate holding company, and Hitachi Energy Holdings AG, Hitachi Energy Finance AG, Hitachi Energy Participations AG and numerous national Hitachi Energy operating companies as possible subsidiaries — are not included in the table above because they could not be independently confirmed against an official filing during this research; they are treated as possible relationships (unverified).
Recent structural changes

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Hitachi Energy AG is Partial: the Swiss commercial register does not publish shareholder or ownership-percentage data for this entity, and the only independently verifiable corporate relationship identified during this research is the group-level ownership of the Hitachi Energy business by Hitachi, Ltd., confirmed via official ABB and Hitachi transaction announcements. Additional relationships suggested by internal aggregator-derived linkage data, including a possible Dutch intermediate holding company and numerous possible subsidiaries, could not be independently confirmed against an official filing during this research.
