Does Hitachi still exist?

Written by Admin | Last Updated: July 2026

Hitachi and John Deere ended their formal manufacturing joint venture agreement in early 2022. For decades, the two companies collaborated on the design and production of excavators for the North American market, with Hitachi providing the core technology and engineering expertise that John Deere then branded and distributed. Since the termination of this partnership, the companies have transitioned to independent manufacturing operations. Hitachi now manages its own independent distribution and support network for its construction machinery globally. While the historical machines produced under the collaboration remain in service and are fully supported, any new excavator models introduced by either company are now the result of independent development and manufacturing processes.
