Hitachi Sells Remaining Stake in Hitachi Construction Machinery
Hitachi will sell all remaining shares in Hitachi Construction Machinery, ending a six-year separation from the construction business. SMBC will temporarily become a major shareholder and then resell the shares to institutional investors in Japan and overseas on Aug. 19. The plan follows earlier steps including a 2022 partial stake sale and a planned rebrand of the unit as Landcros in 2027.
