New Australian HQ for Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi has announced it will relocate its Australian head office to Adelaide Airport in late 2020.

The move northwards from Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited’s former manufacturing site at Clovelly Park in Adelaide’s south was announced today by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation COO, Trevor Mann.

“MMAL is successful in Australia and we know that the workforce are a key factor in that success, which is why we are keeping the national headquarters in South Australia, and creating a new facility located within the Adelaide Airport precinct to ensure MMAL can more efficiently support its dealers and staff interstate," said Mann.

Mann told Mitsubishi’s Australian workforce that while a relocation of its headquarters interstate was considered, Adelaide Airport was the smart choice for the future of the business.

Work on Mitsubishi’s new Australian HQ will commence in 2019, following an extensive national search to find a suitable head office location.

It will be located at the entrance to Adelaide Airport, allowing efficient access for interstate dealers and staff to attend conferences and utilise state-of-the-art sales and aftersales training facilities.

“MMAL is a national team that relies on collaboration with our regional staff and dealers to get our job done, therefore Adelaide Airport proved to be the logical place for our new headquarters,” said MMAL CEO, John Signoriello.

Mann and Signoriello thanked South Australian premier Steven Marshall for the $2 million state government grant to assist MMAL in the construction and fit-out of the new facility.

“South Australia has been home to Mitsubishi for over 38 years and in that time has contributed significantly to our state and likewise, South Australia has been a major supporter of Mitsubishi,” said Marshall.

“This decision is a significant vote of confidence in South Australians and the state government looks forward to continuing a productive and positive partnership with Mitsubishi.”
