Hitachi to Acquire synvert to Accelerate Agentic AI and Physical AI Development
The Hitachi Group is acquiring synvert, a company, headquartered in Germany, as a wholly owned subsidiary of its U.S. subsidiary GlobalLogic Inc. from Maxburg, a leading private equity fund focusing on founder-led technology companies in the German-speaking region.
According to Hitachi, this acquisition aims to accelerate the deployment of HMAX, Hitachi’s solution suite advancing operational autonomy and business model innovation through agentic and physical AI, solving customer and societal challenges in the AI era.
Customers gain immediate advantages from a platform-first architecture and industrialized MLOps, resulting in faster AI time-to-value, responsible scaling with built-in AI guardrails, and the ability to add managed services that improve resilience and reduce total cost of ownership, the company said.
“Joining the Hitachi Group, which has strengths in OT and products, is an ideal step in synvert’s growth story. GlobalLogic’s capabilities and regional strategy align well with synvert, and we believe this partnership will drive further growth. synvert’s identity resonates with Hitachi’s purpose-driven culture, and we look forward to what we can achieve together,” said André Holhozinskyj, CEO, synvert.
synvert is a leading consulting firm in the data and AI space, delivering advanced expertise in AI-driven business design, data access and governance, integration, and operations. With a portfolio of over 200 clients, synvert helps enterprises unlock value and drive intelligent, data-powered transformation, according to the vendor.
synvert maintains advanced partnerships with leading cloud and data platform vendors, including Databricks and Snowflake, alongside major public cloud vendors (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud).
Once the acquisition is completed, synvert will complement GlobalLogic’s deep capabilities in AI and digital engineering, while adding end-to-end strength across the enterprise data value chain and accelerating the development of agentic and physical AI.
synvert’s strong presence in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and the Middle East will help expand markets for HMAX through collaboration with Hitachi Rail and Hitachi Energy.
The acquisition is expected to close in the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), subject to regulatory approval.
“Hitachi is accelerating social innovation by addressing urgent societal challenges—such as labor shortages and knowledge transfer among frontline workers in transportation, energy, gas, and railway sectors—through the advancement of its own AI-driven transformation and the delivery of its outcomes to customers. By integrating synvert’s outstanding data analytics and consulting capabilities with GlobalLogic’s digital engineering expertise, we will enhance competitiveness through Agentic AI and accelerate HMAX deployment. We aim to deliver digital value to all and realize a safe, secure, and sustainable Harmonized Society,” said Jun Abe, executive vice president of Hitachi, Ltd., general manager of the digital systems and services division.
