The 50,000m² factory will produce gas-insulated lines and components for gas-insulated switchgear, crucial for electricity transmission and distribution. 200 jobs will be created through the initiative.

The site will feature advanced production technologies, including friction stir welding, a robotised powder coating facility and a service centre, all tailored to Hitachi Energy’s needs.

Hitachi Energy Czech Republic and Slovakia country managing director Pavel Kovář stated: “Our factory in Brno is one example of our commitment to rapidly expand our global capacity to meet the accelerating demand generated by the transition to clean energy.

“This project in CTPark Brno will provide us with an ideal background for the production of our eco-efficient EconiQ portfolio, which eliminates the use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), the most potent greenhouse gas, from high-voltage equipment. Our investment of over Kč1.1bn will increase production capacity and address the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.”

CTP regional construction director Michal Dospěl stated: “We are very pleased to be able to deliver this ambitious project for our long-standing partner Hitachi Energy. This state-of-the-art, high-tech facility being built at CTPark Brno is an example of our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

“We believe that the project will contribute to the further development of our park and will provide our clients and employees not only with a state-of-the-art working environment, but also support for their growth and development.”

Following the factory’s construction, CTP plans to develop an adjacent campus to foster community collaboration and provide a pleasant environment for employees and visitors.

The campus will feature offices, residences, a café and other services, along with flexible CTBox units.
