Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia has been a leader in Australia’s construction and mining industries for 75 years, with over 30 years under full Japanese ownership. As part of the global Hitachi Construction Machinery group, HCA dominates the nation’s large-scale mining excavator market.
“Hitachi is a pioneer in the hydraulic excavator space,” said HCA Managing Director Ray Kitic. “In addition to construction products, our mining excavators have led the market for over a decade, and sales of our rigid dump trucks are growing rapidly.”
HCA’s growth is driven by innovative products, reliable solutions and a strong support network.
“Hitachi is synonymous with Australian mining,” Kitic noted. “We’ve delivered 50% more large-scale mining excavators than our closest competitor over the past decade, with 40% of Australia’s mining excavators being Hitachi.” This success is attributed to both exceptional products and the dedication and capability of HCA’s skilled team, earning the company an industry-leading reputation.
With 23 locations across Australia and over 2,500 employees, HCA boasts a significant footprint.
“HCA has forged partnerships that have spanned decades with key mining and construction customers,” Kitic added. These partnerships, including collaborations with other Japanese companies, leverage the strength of Japanese business principles like integrity and long-term loyalty.

Looking ahead, HCA is focused on advancing technology and expanding its offerings through collaborations with sister companies such as Bradken, H-E Parts International and Wenco to deliver tailored, efficient solutions.
HCA is also committed to a sustainable future through its environmental, social and governance initiatives.
“We’re enhancing our focus on decarbonization, both in our operations and the equipment we offer,” Kitic said. “We provide diverse pathways to decarbonization, including battery- electric models and up to 15% reduced fuel consumption in a number of our latest products, thanks to rigorous R&D.”
With a focus on innovation, collaboration and sustainability, HCA is helping shape a brighter future for Australia’s construction and mining sectors.
