As a new industrial innovator, the Industrial Finance, Logistics & Development Group will create new industrial finance models that respond to rapid environmental and structural changes in and outside Japan by assembling and merging its knowledge in finance, development and construction, and distribution. |
The Industrial Finance, Logistics & Development Group was formed on April 1, 2007, as a result of developmental restructuring and consolidation among the Financial Services Division and Logistics Services Division, which were part of the New Business Initiative Group, and the Development & Construction Project Division and Airline Business Unit, which were part of the Machinery Group.
We established the Group in order to unify the financial businesses that each group had engaged in the traditional finance business, aircraft leasing and development-type real estate securitization and to design a new strategy for the new industrial finance of Mitsubishi Corporation. We intend to grow this area into a large-scale business and design a new industrial finance model by combining all of the Group's capabilities and deepening coordination with the Logistics Services Division and newly added Development & Construction Project Division.
The environment surrounding finance is changing greatly such as parallel movements of the financial intermediary functions, moving away from traditional banks and spreading to non-banks, investment trusts, and mutual funds, the change in flows of household funds from savings to investments, and the introduction of private capital into public facilities represented by private finance initiative (PFI). In this environment, we are expanding into new trading company type finance business, making good use of our company's strengths in its relationship with all industries and global network in addition to our know-how and ability to estimate value of "goods or products."
The Merchant Banking, M&A Division and Asset Finance & Business Development Division are developing traditional financial models to undertake new financial business unique to Mitsubishi Corporation, including through leasing business, real estate finance businesses, medical funding investments, investments and M&A business and corporate and industrial revitalization business. Also, the Development & Construction Project Division is actively promoting construction and real estate development and housing projects focused on shopping center facilities and urban development, while the Logistics Services Division does the same in providing distribution and insurance solutions.
By merging financial, real estate and construction, and distribution knowledge, we aim to engage in significant businesses appropriate for a comprehensive trading company.
