Mitsubishi

('', which is reflected in the company's logo. That company soon diversified into coal_mining, shipbuilding, banking, insurance, warehousing, and trade. Later diversification carried the organization into such sectors as paper, steel, glass, electrical equipment, aircraft, oil, and real_estate. As Mitsubishi built a broadly based conglomerate, it played a central role in the modernization of Japanese industry. At the start of the 20th_century the company, which by itself accounted for over half of the Japanese merchant fleet, entered into a period of diversification that would eventually result in the creation of three entities:
  • Mitsubishi_Bank was founded in 1919. After its merger with Bank of Tokyo in 1996, this became Japan's largest bank.
  • Mitsubishi Corporation, founded in 1893, serves the internal financing needs of the group
  • Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which includes these Industrial companies.
  • ''Mitsubishi_Motors_Corporation'', the 4th largest Japanese auto manufacturer.
  • Mitsubishi_Atomic_Industry, a nuclear_power company.
  • Mitsubishi_Chemical, the largest Japanese chemicals company
  • ''Nikon'', a well-known brand of photographic equipment. Mitsubishi built the planes used against America at Pearl Harbor. Mitsubishi split itself into independent companies in 1946 under the postwar government policy of decentralizing industry. The newly independent companies used their accumulated technology and other strengths to pursue growth under separate business models. As independent corporations, the Mitsubishi companies cooperated in some ventures, as in petrochemicals and nuclear power, and competed with each other in other sectors. The Mitsubishi companies form a loose entity known as the Mitsubishi_Keiretsu, or Mitsubishi Group. Mitsubishi has been criticized for some of its corporate practices, most notably with respect to workplace discrimination and environmental pollution. A disgruntled former employee, Kamal Sinha, has started a website called Mitsubishi Watch to report such complaints.
