Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has a long history spanning over 130 years. It started as a shipbuilding company in 1884 and has since expanded into many industries including transportation infrastructure, energy, machinery, and aerospace. Some key events and developments include launching Japan's first steel steamship in 1887; shifting to consumer products after WWII such as scooters and air conditioners; merging three heavy industry companies in 1964 which led to large-scale development; and more recently focusing on sustainable energy and environmental technologies as a comprehensive infrastructure company.

After the war, in accordance with national policy, MHI shifted its emphasis from military hardware to the
development and manufacture of scooters, air conditioners, and many other types of consumer products.
In 1950, in line with the GHQ’s policy of dissolving large industrial groups (zaibatsu), MHI was divided into
three independent companies. As a result, the scale of products grew more diverse, and the three
companies fell into competition. However, this technology race would provide the foundation for the
leading company in heavy industry.
Supporting Post-War Recovery with Consumer Products
1946
1963
More than 130 years have passed since Mitsubishi first leased the Nagasaki Shipyard from the government’s Ministry of Industry in 1884. The
technologies of the MHI Group supported Japan through unbridled changes in its quest for modernization and globalization. The Group uses the
technological foundation accumulated over these long years to provide products and innovations in a wide range of fields. In 2014, the company
completed its transition to a domain system, achieving even greater synergy and contributing even more to the development of society.
Beyond 130 years of history and tradition on land, sea, air and space,
MHI Group technologies and products continue to astound.
Integrated Defense & Space Systems Domain

The MHI Group has always sought high efficiency, and as the trend toward global environmental
conservation gains momentum and the concept of ecology becomes commonplace, the company’s gas
turbine, eco-ship and other technologies and product fields are expanding on a global scale. The Group is
working to develop technologies and products that help make societies more sustainable while raising its
profile worldwide as a comprehensive infrastructure company.

History
In 1964, the same year Tokyo hosted the Summer Olympics, the three principal heavy industry companies
reunited, creating today’s form of the MHI Group. Its products expanded to encompass the fields of land,
sea and air, and included oil-drilling rigs, power plants, tankers and bridges. In addition, the successful
lift-off of the H-Ⅰlaunch vehicle occurred around this time, and the Group’s participation in full-fledged
space development began.
Merging of Three Heavy Industry Companies
Leads to Large-Scale Development

Building a Transportation Infrastructure from Roots in Shipbuilding
MHI’s monozukuri began with the lease of Nagasaki Shipyard from the Ministry of Industry. Even as the
company built Japan’s first steel steamship and battleships, it applied the technologies and knowledge
cultivated in those endeavors to begin production of automobiles and aircraft, expanding its range of
business as a comprehensive manufacturer of transport equipment. As global tensions rose, the company
entered into an age where its technologies — more advanced than in most countries at that time — would
be diverted to military use.

In today’s society, transportation infrastructures don’t exist simply to move people and carry goods. In a way,
they are just as essential as blood vessels are in the human body.
They support business, add richness to everyday life and energize society. The MHI Group provides total
support for land, sea and air transport and is keeping an eye on global social development from the perspective
of movement.
