Message from CEO

70 years of deepening partnership

Established in 1956, Mitsubishi Australia Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan’s largest trading and investment house.

Across the past 70 years, the global capabilities and long-term perspective of Mitsubishi Corporation have been combined with the expertise of strong local partners to build leading, world-class businesses in Australia.

The business today could only be achieved by taking the long-term view, investing and partnering alongside the Australian community in both the good times, and the challenging times, often helping to shape emerging industries. In many cases, partnerships in specific industries have spanned multiple decades, including:

Resources - 58 years
Energy - 40+ years
Agriculture - 38 years
Automotive - 18+ years

By taking this long-term view and building the scale and resilience of the business over time, Mitsubishi Corporation delivers meaningful economic and societal value, including:

5.5k+ jobs on a consolidated basis
A$20b+ of taxes and royalties paid over the past 10 years
4k+ businesses supported through the purchase of goods and services

While Mitsubishi Corporation’s business continues to evolve to meet the needs of a changing world, our commitment, as Mitsubishi Australia, to provide deep, long-term value to partners, customers, and the community remains unchanged. We do so guided by Mitsubishi Corporation’s three Corporate Principles:

Corporate Responsibility to Society
Integrity and Fairness
Global Understanding Through Business

In 2026, I am honoured to take on the role of Managing Director and CEO. As the first Australian to lead Mitsubishi Australia in its 70-year history, my appointment only re-enforces our commitment to further deepening our local partnership moving forward.

Dan Cronin
