28 Jan, 2005

Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT / TSE:6501), the largest shareholder of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., announced that the Hitachi Group has completed details of its planned pavilion at The 2005 World Exposition, Aichi, Japan, to be called “Nature Contact- Hitachi Group Pavilion’s Ubiquitous Entertainment Ride” (“Hitachi Group Pavilion”). The EXPO will be held from March 25 through September 25, 2005 at Nagoya Eastern Hills (Nagakute Town, Toyota City and Seto City).

A source of ideas for the coexistence of people and all other living things, Hitachi Group Pavilion will be based on two themes. One is the EXPO’s theme, “Nature’s Wisdom,” which is made up of the two sub-themes called “Nature’s Matrix” and “The Art of Life.” The other is the concept of “realizing a ubiquitous information society through the use of sophisticated IT,” which is the goal of the Hitachi Group.
