Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Company Profile

Mitsubishi Motors is a small fish in the big pond of global car manufacturing. The company sells about a million cars per year (far below rival Toyota) in more than 160 countries worldwide. The 20 models of cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVs are made at its plants in Asia, Europe, and the US. Mitsubishi products include the Lancer, Galant, Eclipse, and Outlander; about eight models are limited to Japanese sales only. The company's R&D facilities are in the US, Germany, and Japan. Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries together own about a 30% stake in Mitsubishi Motors, which traces its roots to Heavy Industries' 1917 "Mitsubishi Model A" project. About 80% of sales come from outside of Japan.
