In 2003, it combined its hard-disk-drive operations with IBM’s to form Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, a business it sold to Western Digital in 2012. Under president Hiroaki Nakanishi, appointed in 2010, Hitachi placed greater strategic emphasis on combining infrastructure and information technology in its Social Innovation Business; it introduced the Lumada digital platform in 2016. Its later portfolio changes included acquiring a controlling stake in ABB’s power-grids business in 2020 and the remaining stake in 2022, making the business, renamed Hitachi Energy, wholly owned.
