The Industrial Finance, Logistics & Development Group was formed via the reorganization of the Financial Services Division and Logistics Services Division, which were part of the New Business Initiative Group, and the Development & Construction Project Division and Airline Business Unit, which were part of the Machinery Group. In the past, finance was just a function or tool in MC's traditional business. This new group positions "Finance" as the core of its operations in order to further develop and strengthen its overall business.

The group was established to integrate MC's finance-related businesses, which include automobile and aircraft leasing, and real estate securitization, and to make those businesses scalable under a new business strategy.

By taking advantage of our know-how in finance, real estate, construction and logistics, as well as MC's global network, expertise in businesses and assets, and other strengths, we will promote development of shosha-type industrial finance business, which differs in approach from that of financial institutions.
