    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Launched toward Strengthening of Global Competitiveness

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co., Ltd.

    On October 1, 2015, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) spun off its machine tool business as wholly-owned subsidiary Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co., Ltd., through a company split and to be taken over by its wholly-owned subsidiary Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Sales Co., Ltd. This company was established with the aim of boosting the MHI Group's organizational mobility and establishing a structure for swift decision-making through the unification of manufacturing and marketing toward the strengthening of global competitiveness. This is a result of dedicated machine tool manufacturers striving for enhanced competitiveness by promptly making decisions following the drastic changes in the demand structure of the machine tool market - both inside and outside Japan - over the last few years.
