Ahead of the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union (EU) scheduled for 23 June, Hitachi, Ltd. has claimed it will continue to invest in the country regardless of the outcome, The Telegraph reported on 31 January.
Hiroaki Nakanishi, chief executive of the firm, said: “For us, having the UK in the EU is always preferable. But we cannot say Brexit is the wrong way”.
The firm’s global rail headquarters is based in the UK, and it opened a new factory in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, in 2015.
