Mitsubishi Corporation's scope of business is often difficult to grasp. The company is often confused with other companies such as Mitsubishi Motors or Mitsubishi Electric. Although sharing the well-known three diamond mark in their logos, these businesses are actually separate, independent companies that share the "Mitsubishi" name.

So what is Mitsubishi Corporation?

Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) is a global integrated business enterprise that develops and operates businesses together with its offices and subsidiaries in approximately 90 countries and regions worldwide, as well as a global network of around 1,700 group companies. MC has long been engaged in business with customers around the world in virtually every industry. The company seeks to contribute to the enrichment of society through business firmly rooted in the principles of fairness and integrity.

Although MC's activities encompass everything from trading to business investment, the essence of the company can best be described as focusing on the needs of customers and society, innovating business models, and reliably providing functions and services to propel these businesses forward.

MC is just one of many independent companies that bear the Mitsubishi name. Founded in the early 1870s as a steamship company by Yataro Iwasaki, the original "Mitsubishi" grew into a collection of companies engaged in most sectors of the Japanese economy. After World War II, the Mitsubishi holdings were broken up into several independent companies, many of which still bear the Mitsubishi name and carry on its tradition of leadership and corporate principles.
