Mitsubishi Chemical America (MCA) is the primary Americas subsidiary and headquarters owned by parent company Mitsubishi Chemical Group, representing one of its four core global operations. MCA and its subsidiaries include 18 unique operational divisions and businesses in North and South America. The formation of this regional headquarters on April 1, 2017 has provided the organization and infrastructure needed for MCA to realize synergies, within regions and globally, among the vast network of Mitsubishi Chemical Group companies.

The origin of Mitsubishi goes back to 1870, when the founder, Yataro Iwasaki, started a shipping firm with three aging steamships. Yataro’s brother, son, and nephew expanded the business into various fields during their respective terms as president and set the foundation of the Mitsubishi companies. After the second World War, the original Mitsubishi organization was divided into numerous independent companies who share the world-renowned Mitsubishi and three diamond trademarks. Mitsubishi Chemical Group carries on the legacy of quality and innovation reflected in those trademarks.
