Transportation Machinery Division
Message from the COO
- Executive Officer, COO, Transportation Machinery Division
- Takao Asahara
The former Transportation & Industrial Machinery Division enjoyed many successes during fiscal 2007. We won the first order ever from a Japanese airline for Brazil-made jet aircraft and acquired a car dealership and an auto parts distributor in the United States and Australia, respectively, while purchasing construction and agricultural machinery importers and distributors in Asia and the Americas and delivering and securing orders for automotive production systems in China and India. Working toward Marubeni's "SG2009" Plan targets while building on its new business structure, the new Transportation Machinery Division will pursue new investment, expand its overseas business base and pioneer new business models.
