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.
