Mitsubishi Corporation was founded in 1870 by Itara Iwasaki. The initial direction of the company was shipbuilding. Today Mitsubishi is one of the three largest companies in Japan.
Mitsubishi began to produce loading equipment exclusively for the domestic market. The low cost and high quality of Japanese forklifts made European and American manufacturers take care of protecting their manufacturers. There was no better solution than imposing an embargo on the import of Japanese forklifts at that time. In order to circumvent this ban Mitsubishi begins to cooperate with Sadam Meccanica SpA (now Cesab). In 1989-1990, the production of a 2.5 ton loader was launched. Later, a subsidiary is opened in Almere (Netherlands). Initially as a seller of spare parts for forklift trucks, later as a manufacturer of electric forklift trucks and ICE forklift trucks.
In 1992, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries LTD and the American Caterpillar Industrial INC agree to combine their technological and financial resources into a new company called MHI.
Forklift "Mitsubishi"
The products of the concern, the emblem of which is the shamrock (the combined emblem of the Iwasaki family and the Tosa samurai clan, who founded an enterprise in the Land of the Rising Sun in 1875), are in deserved demand. Now "Mitsubishi" has several corporations in its structure. Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, a member of one of these corporations (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), is the exclusive supplier of material handling equipment to our country.
