Established in 1955 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, a key business center in Germany, Mitsubishi International GmbH is an overseas subsidiary company of Mitsubishi Corporation (MC). With satellite offices located in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin, we can leverage our knowledge of industries and markets around the world to create new, sustainable businesses. And Germany, strategically located in the heart of Europe, is well positioned to link into markets to the East, West, South and North, including central and eastern Europe. Mitsubishi International GmbH, operating within this perfect business environment, is well equipped to offer a broad range of services to transform opportunities into businesses.

MC is Japan's largest general trading company with over 200 bases of operations in approximately 80 countries worldwide. Together with its over 500 group companies, MC employs a multinational workforce of approximately 48,000 people. MC has long been engaged in business with customers around the world in virtually every industry, including information technology, energy, metals, machinery, chemicals, food, textile and general merchandise.

Traditionally classified as a general trading company, we have raised our function considerably not only as an international trader but also as provider of across-the-board solutions. We develop proposals and then devise ways to transform those ideas into actual projects and feasible businesses. Following new paths we are now active in fields that extend well beyond the realm of trade.

MC has constantly adapted to changes in clients' needs, keeping up with the present and also being prepared for the future. By focusing on relationships, we maintain a thorough understanding of markets with a long-term perspective in mind.

In the course of our activities we continue to place priority on fulfilling our corporate responsibility to society as well as the environment. Good corporate citizenship requires that we respect human rights, labor issues, and the well-being of local communities. It also necessitates using the natural wealth of our planet in a sustainable and efficient manner. We put main emphasis on compliance and corporate governance in our company. This stance is reflected in the daily activities of management and employees.

By expanding and leveraging our capabilities we are determined to meet the expectations of our clients and to respond to the trust of the communities in which we do business.

Thank you for your interest in our company.
