# Hatch — Employee-owned engineering and EPCM across metals, energy and infrastructure > Hatch is an independent, employee-owned engineering and project delivery firm founded in 1955 and headquartered in Mississauga. Its work spans metals, energy and infrastructure, from feasibility and front-end design to procurement coordination and construction management. The references here document lithium-facility EPCM, low-carbon iron FEED and a long-duration energy-storage execution partnership. Each describes its authorized engineering or management role and planned project scale. They do not assign ownership of the facilities or establish a single fixed-price turnkey construction contract for every package. - **Legal name:** Hatch Ltd. - **Headquarters:** Mississauga, Ontario, Canada - **Founded:** 1955 - **Official website:** [Hatch](https://www.hatch.com) - **URL:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/hatch - **Markdown:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/hatch.md - **JSON:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/hatch.json ## CEO and leadership profile ### John Bianchini Chair and Chief Executive Officer John Bianchini is Hatch’s chair and CEO, having led the company as chief executive since 2012.

Compare contractors by project technology, country, voltage level and contractual delivery scope. ## Directory methodology This directory presents company profiles, not a scored ranking or certification. Company-wide experience may include engineering, EPCM, equipment supply and consortium roles. Confirm the exact role, current qualifications and project references with the official company before shortlisting. ## What should an EPC enquiry include? Specify the project country, capacity, grid voltage, single-line diagram, site conditions, scope boundaries, target schedule and acceptance tests. Clarify who owns permitting, civil works, grid studies, commissioning and performance guarantees. ## Equipment enquiries submitted here go to Voltformer. Contact the listed company directly for its EPC services. ## Engineering specializations - Minerals processing and metallurgy - Hydrogen and low-carbon ironmaking - Long-duration energy storage - Rail and civil infrastructure ## Declared capabilities - **Basic and detailed engineering:** Listed capability; confirm project-specific scope - **Procurement and supply:** Not listed - **Civil and structural construction:** Not listed - **Testing and commissioning:** Not listed - **High-voltage substation EPC:** Not listed - **Transmission lines:** Not listed - **Turnkey power plant EPC:** Not listed - **Grid interconnection:** Not listed ## Representative projects ### Great Salt Lake lithium facility - **Capacity / scope:** EPCM appointment; planned initial lithium-carbonate output of 5000 tonnes/year - **Country:** United States | **Client:** Lilac Solutions - **Description:** Hatch was selected to coordinate engineering, procurement and construction management for Lilac’s Utah lithium facility.
