In 2003, the amount of military industry orders accepted by the Self-Defense Agency was 280 billion yen, ranking first among all military industry enterprises. Equipment produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, such as F-2 and F-15J fighter jets, and Type 90 tanks, play a core role in the Air Self-Defense Force and Ground Self-Defense Force. In the Maritime Self-Defense Force, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries builds almost half of the equipment. of submarines, and a third of destroyers. Its status in the Japanese military industry is evident.
Historical evolution and summary
The predecessor of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can be traced back to the Meiji Restoration.
In 1884, Mitsubishi founder Yataro Iwasaki leased the Nagasaki Shipbuilding Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Industry from the government and named it Nagasaki Shipyard, which later developed into Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. By 1934, as the company's business had expanded to heavy machinery, aircraft, railway vehicles and other fields, the company was renamed Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.
After the end of World War II, due to the policy of the US occupation authorities to dismantle the Zaibatsu, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was divided into West Nippon Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., Central Nippon Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., East Nippon Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. and others in 1950. company. However, with changes in U.S. policy and Japanese domestic politics, the three companies merged in 1964 and rebuilt Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. to this day. During this period, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' automotive division became independent as "Mitsubishi Motors Corporation" in 1970.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' business covers machinery, ships, aerospace, atomic energy, electric power, transportation and other fields. As of April 1, 2004, it had a registered capital of 265.6 billion yen and a number of 34,306 employees. It has 9 overseas offices or representative offices, 9 branches, 6 research institutes, and 9 business offices. Annual order volume is 2,159.2 billion yen (from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004), and annual sales are 1,940.1 billion yen (statistical date is the same as before). Among them, based on the proportion of departmental sales to total sales, the shipbuilding and marine department accounted for 8, the nuclear energy department accounted for 23, the machinery and steel structure department accounted for 20, the aerospace and aerospace department accounted for 17, vehicles, machine tools and other industrial departments accounted for 29, and others Industry accounts for 3.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a member of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu. Today's Japanese chaebols emerged in the form of what is called keiretsu (the pronunciation of the Japanese kanji for "series"). Mitsubishi series companies are all members of the Mitsubishi Group organization "Golden Yao Club" (meaning Friday Club). They include (for the sake of uniformity, this article uses their Japanese names in Chinese characters or their original English names):
Asahi Glass ( Glass and chemical companies), Kirin Beer, Nippon Oil, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Nikon Camera, Nippon Yusen Line, P.S Mitsubishi (engaged in the construction industry), Mitsubishi Aluminum (Mitsubishi
Aluminum), Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical Machinery, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Mitsubishi Estate (engaged in real estate), Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Plastics, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Trust Bank, Mitsubishi Shindo, Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Steel Paper, Mitsubishi Warehouse, Mitsubishi Research Institute (Japanese characters for "Mitsubishi Research Institute"), Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks and Buses, Mitsubishi Materials (Mitsubishi Materials), Mitsubishi Rayon , Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.
Companies in the same series can cooperate more closely. Each company can provide other brother companies with good products or lower prices within its own areas of responsibility. For example, Nippon Yusen Kaisha is a major orderer of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' shipping department, and Mitsubishi Electric provides electromechanical products to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Companies such as Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Aluminum and Mitsubishi Materials provide Mitsubishi's shipping and aerospace departments. Provide reliable raw materials. Companies such as Mitsubishi Bank and Tokio Marine can provide loans and special insurance services (such as space launch insurance). Optical products produced by Nikon and new materials produced by Mitsubishi Plastics are all indispensable components for high-tech weapons.
The Mitsubishi Group also has some affiliated companies and social groups as peripherals, including:
"IPTalk" Group (engaged in phone card business), Atami Yowadong (Iwasaki Koyata Memorial Hall), MT Insurance Services Co., Ltd., Kantokaku (a hotel renovated from the former residence of the Iwasaki family), Koiwai Farming, Shonan Suburban Club, Jinggado Bunko Museum of Art, Zongtong Group (a property management company mainly for Tokyo-Mitsubishi Bank), Dai Nippon Paint, Dia Senior Society Research Foundation, Diamond Family Club (a matchmaking agency jointly funded by 29 companies in the Jinjinkai Association, mainly for internal services within the group), Chitose Kosan, Toyo Bunko, Marunouchi Yorozu (a company engaged in real estate intermediaries and advertising agencies), Mitsubishi Jinjinkai (a networking organization for the chairman and general managers of 29 Mitsubishi companies), Mitsubishi Club, Mitsubishi Economic Research Institute, Mitsubishi Broadcasting Committee, Mitsubishi Foundation, Mitsubishi CC Research Association (IT industry research institutions), Mitsubishi Trademark Committee, Mitsubishi Market Research Association, Mitsubishi Yowakai (a club with the theme of sports and health), LEOC Japan (a company engaged in medical and company canteen management).
It can be seen that through the collaboration and division of labor of large groups, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can obtain a variety of support in terms of capital, technology, raw materials, upstream products, financial services, sales, etc. from brother enterprises and groups. This is very beneficial to the development of enterprises.
