Dallas—Hitachi Consulting, a subsidiary of Hitachi, announced that it has acquired Celerant Consulting, a move that will enable Hitachi Consulting to serve its clients throughout an entire business transformation life cycle, while continuing to focus on delivering successful, sustainable change, according to Phil Parr, President and CEO of Hitachi Consulting.

Additionally, this acquisition will expand Hitachi Consulting's European, North American and South American presence. Celerant has offices throughout the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, and a global client base that spans over 57 countries. By adding Celerant's vast expertise across the chemical, consumer, energy, industrial, life sciences, metals and mining sectors to its own unique skill set, this latest acquisition will provide Hitachi Consulting with a deeper level of industry-specific and associated process expertise. As a result, Hitachi Consulting will be able to offer robust consulting capabilities in new and existing target industries, Parr says.
