List of Companies owned by the Mitsubishi Group
List of Companies owned by the Mitsubishi Group: Mitsubishi Group, a loose confederation of autonomous Japanese companies that were founded out of the giant, family-owned Mitsubishi business combine, or zaibatsu, which was disintegrated and reestablished in April 1950.
The origin of the group of companies, Mitsubishi, was the Mitsubishi trading and shipping enterprise, Mitsubishi Commercial Company, established in 1873 by Iwasaki Yatarō, who bought out a government-run shipping company way back in 1871. The Japanese government, through its project that aimed at expanding both commerce and industry, lent Iwasaki financial assistance for several years in turn, and the company became the largest shipping firm in Japan.
