History[]
Mitsubishi Corporation was originally founded by Yatarō Iwasaki as Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works, this shipbuilding business was later turned into Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and then launched as Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries, Ltd. in 1934, establishing its position as the largest private firm in Japan, manufacturing ships, heavy machinery, airplanes, and railroad cars. After World War 2 a law aimed at dissolving zaibatsus and dismantling the over concentration of economic power was in effect.
The current Mitsubishi Corporation was founded by the merger of these three companies to form Mitsubishi Shoji in 1954; Mitsubishi listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Osaka Stock Exchange in the same year. It changed its name to "Mitsubishi Corporation" in 1971. Concurrently with its relaunch, Mitsubishi opened fourteen liaison offices outside Japan, as well as a US subsidiary called Mitsubishi International Corporation with offices in New York and San Francisco. By 1960, Mitsubishi had fifty-one overseas offices. Mitsubishi's first large-scale investment outside Japan was a liquefied natural gas project in Brunei, committed to in 1968.
In 2002, Sugo Manufacturing merged with Mitsubishi and was renamed Mitsubishi-Sugo. The new corp subsidiary started building AFVs and Tanks, as well as cars. Mitsubishi-Sugo became one of the main manufacturers selling to the SDF. In 2010, Mitsubishi-Sugo develops prototype ACPA for the SDF. Soldiers nickname it "kakashi" (scarecrow). Mitsubishi-Sugo developed the first Japanese ACPA using the SegAtari VR interface.[1]
At some point in the 2000s, Mitsubishi opened a new subsidiary Mitsubishi/Koridansu which focused most of it's attention in space affairs. maintain the intellectual property rights to the basic work-shack module expanded upon by virtually all Japanese corporations developing and manufacturing orbital work-shacks and auto-factories.[2]
