Balfour Beatty completes sale of Omnicom to Hitachi Rail
Balfour Beatty has announced that it has completed the sale of Omnicom to Hitachi Rail.
Balfour Beatty has completed the sale of Omnicom Engineering to Hitachi Rail, finalizing a strategic divestment that was first announced earlier in 2025. This move transfers the UK infrastructure group’s rail-focused technology division—known for its high‑speed asset monitoring hardware and intelligent software systems—to Hitachi Rail, aligning with Hitachi’s global expansion ambitions. The completion of the transaction reflects Balfour Beatty’s refocusing on its core rail infrastructure capabilities and allows the acquired business to scale under a global mobility brand.
