Hitachi Group company, GlobalLogic, and Digital Engineering plan to open new engineering centres across Spain.
GlobalLogic anticipates creating a workforce of up to 2,500 to 3,000 professionals over the next three years through local hiring and potential acquisitions.
The plan is for GlobalLogic to join other Hitachi companies with an established presence in Spain including Hitachi Ltd., Hitachi Energy, and Hitachi Vantara among others.
The announcement was made by GlobalLogic president and CEO, Nitesh Banga, during a meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
GlobalLogic specializes in digital engineering: combining experience design, complex software engineering, and data engineering to address its clients’ needs for transformative services.
The engineering centres will represent GlobalLogic’s first sites in Southwest Europe, adding to more than 20 existing EMEA locations across nine other countries. They will be charged with providing design-led digital engineering services to global and Spanish clients in both on-site and off-site support models depending on customer location and need.
To meet robust demand for digital engineering and transformation, GlobalLogic has been steadily expanding its footprint with the introduction of new centres and the acquisition of strong digital engineering firms in strategic hubs around the world.
Spain emerged as a key location for GlobalLogic, inspired by the government’s public commitment to the digital transformation of its economy laid out in the Digital Spain 2026 (España Digital) agenda and their ongoing programs to attract technology firms to invest in the country.
Establishing a footprint in Spain provides GlobalLogic access to the country’s highly capable software engineering talent. It also enables the company to bring its unique digital engineering capabilities, best practices, and industry expertise to top Spanish brands seeking experienced partners for their digital transformations.
GlobalLogic established its legal entity in Spain in 2022. The company’s expansion strategy includes both organic growth as well as actively looking at growth opportunities through acquisition within the country. For its Spain operations, GlobalLogic is considering several target cities including Valencia and Malaga for a 2023 launch, with Madrid and Tarragona on the long-term roadmap.
