Hinode Shokai Co., Ltd. was established as a subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd. in April 1947. In October of that same year, the company changed its name to Nissei Sangyo Co., Ltd. It went on to develop as a specialized trading company in advanced industrial fields, focusing on the sale of physics- and chemistry-related equipment, industrial measuring devices and equipment, and materials. In 2001, Nissei Sangyo took over the measuring instrument and semiconductor manufacturing equipment operations of Hitachi Ltd. Later, with the addition of the Hitachi Medical Corporation Sample Inspection Sales Group, Hitachi High-Technologies was born. In 2020, Hitachi High-Technologies has changed company name into Hitachi High-Tech and is utilizing the core technologies of “Observation, Measurement, Analyzing” to provide solutions in this global growth market.

Supporting Science Education

Loss of interest in science among children and students is a problem that is facing developed countries. It is a critical issue that leads to difficulties for corporations in securing personnel to conduct R&D and to reduced international competitiveness as a nation.

With our Basic Philosophy of “value creation through high-tech solutions,” we will contribute to professional development and the development of society by supporting science education, which leverages our technology and products including scientific instruments to the maximum extent possible.

Supporting Children’s Science Education Activities Using Electron Microscopes

We conduct activities to support science education, using tabletop electron microscopes that are manufactured and sold by Hitachi High-Tech.

We support a range of educational events, such as special lessons for elementary and junior high schools as well as displays at science museums and exhibitions, with the aim of stimulating children’s interest in science and technology through the experience of observing familiar specimens on a microscopic scale.

Their activities include nationwide basketball clinics, which provide an opportunity to learn how exciting the basketball is, as well as its rules and techniques, while simultaneously playing the game. The clinic is mainly aimed at elementary and junior high school students. Through these efforts, the Cougars actively encourage interactions with local communities, contributing to the development of sports in the communities. Moreover, as part of their support for people with disabilities, the team visits the IFC Ibaraki Welfare Factory every year to hold a social event.

Hitachi High-Tech Yasato Forest

The Group encourages environmental business and environmental management based on the Hitachi Group’s Environmental Vision.

On the one hand, we contribute to environmental conservation through our regular business, on the other we promote activities for global environmental conservation activities, such as the conservation of ecosystems in the local area through various activities by companies, as well as employees and their families. As part of these efforts, Hitachi High-Tech rented an approximately 2.3-hectare national forest in Ishioka City, Ibaraki from the government under the Forestry Agency’s Corporate Forest Program. The company named the forest the Hitachi High-Tech Yasato Forest, and has been working on a 60-year program of silviculture activities since 2005. New employees as well as interested employees and their families participate in work such as weeding and pruning to facilitate the growth of trees. Going forward, the company will continue to develop the forest until young trees are fully grown and cut down, thereby contributing to the conservation of the global environment and the prevention of global warming.
