Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

Hitachi Energy Gains National Green Factory Recognition for Two More Facilities in China
March 24, 2025 | Hitachi EnergyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) recently announced its 2024 Green Manufacturing List, with two of Hitachi Energy's local manufacturing bases in Beijing and Datong in north China’s Shanxi Province, receiving the titles of National Green Factory. This brings the total number of Hitachi Energy's local enterprises on the list to four.
MIIT has organized National Green Factory since 2017 to help improve China’s clean manufacturing system and promote sustainable industrial development. By 2024, there were over 6,400 national green factories in China. Green factories must feature intensive efficiency, clean production, waste utilization, and low-carbon energy use as a fundamental part of the green manufacturing system.
“Hitachi Energy places sustainability at the heart of its Purpose and is committed to working with customers and partners to advance the energy transition. The National Green Factory certification is a high recognition of our efforts in fulfilling social and environmental responsibilities in China,” said James Zhao, Executive Vice President and Region head of Greater China, Hitachi Energy. “We will continue to accelerate the upgrade of our business in China, supporting China’s high-quality manufacturing and the realization of its carbon goals.”
The two new companies, Hitachi Energy Power System Co. Ltd. and Hitachi Energy Datong Traction Transformers Co. Ltd., selected as green factories have integrated green development principles into every aspect of their productions and operations. In addition, in line with Hitachi Energy’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality within its operations by 2030, both factories commit to sourcing 100 percent of its purchased electricity from fossil-free sources.
