Our parent company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is a multinational manufacturer and distributor of automobiles, parts and powertrains. It began as the motor vehicle division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., with the production of the first Mitsubishi automobile in 1917. In 1970 MMC became an independent entity that is now a publicly traded company based in Tokyo, Japan.

MMC began selling its vehicles and powertrains in the United States in the 1970s under the Chrysler brand. Then in 1981 MMC struck out on its own and began creating the organization that has evolved into Mitsubishi Motors North America.
