As Japan entered its high economic growth period, Mitsuba tried its hand at the motorcycle business and the information systems business as well, thus pushing to expand our portfolio. In 1977, we had our initial public offering of stock. Our corporate value greatly increased during the Bubble era: in 1986, we founded our site in the United States, then in 1989 Mitsuba shares were finally listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In 1996 we changed our name to Mitsuba Corporation, and, with our new corporate image, we will leap ahead to the next stage of our growth.

With COVID-19, the change to ESG management, CASE and MaaS and so on, the automobile industry is in the middle of a once-in-a-century paradigm shift. Throughout this, Mitsuba has grown into a corporation with 22,000 employees globally. We have established Mitsuba Vision 2030, and announced our policies such as Carbon Neutrality Policy, Human Rights and Labor Policy, and Renewable Energy Introduction Policy one after another, making sustainability management a key focus. In 2026, as we reached our 80th anniversary, we have launched our anniversary project with the theme of “Connecting to a Brighter Future. Spread Pleasure and Peace of Mind.” We will overcome this turbulent time and start out on a new path.
