HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a construction division spun off from Mitsubishi Oil Co Ltd (now Nippon Oil Corp).  This is a leading comprehensive plant engineering company belonging to Mitsubishi group, with strength in petroleum & petrochemical facilities. Excels in LNG plants, which division has grown to be the mainstay, accounting for 70% of total sales.  Engaged in major LNG engineering plant projects in Near & Mid East, and Russia.  At one time the firm was thrown into management crisis but with the help of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Corp and Kellogg Brown & Root of the US, the firm recovered.  Robust demand of LNG plants overseas helped greatly to the restructuring and profitability.  Engaged in joint work with Ebara Corp, a pumps & air-blower maker, Tokyo, in environment-related overseas plant engineering.
