FHI, traces its origins to the Nakajima Aircraft Company (est. 1917), which was the leader in aircraft manufacture for the Japanese military during WWII. FHI was established on
July 15,
1953 when five Japanese companies joined to form one of
Japan's largest manufacturers of transportation equipment. Currently, FHI employs more than 15,000 people worldwide, operates nine manufacturing plants and sells products in 100 countries. It currently makes
Subaru brand cars, and its aerospace division makes parts for
Boeing, helicopters for the Japanese Self Defense Force, Raytheon Hawker, and Eclipse Aviation business jets.
In the United States, Fuji Heavy Industries owns
Subaru of America, Inc.,
Subaru Research & Development, Inc., and
Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.
Shareholders
From 1968 until
1999, FHI was 20% owned by Nissan, who acquired the stake in 1968 during a period of government-ordered merging of Japanese auto industry firms in order to improve competitiveness under the administration of
Prime Minister of Japan Eisaku Sato. During their ownership, Nissan was primarily interested in its bus manufacturing division and lent automaking expertise to Subaru. Upon Nissan's acquisition by
Renault, its 20% stake was sold to General Motors Corporation, but GM announced on October 6, 2005 that it will sell 8.4% of the company to Toyota and disposed of its remaining share, 11.6% of the company, on the market. Toyota to buy Fuji shares in GM selloff Japan Times, October 6, 2005
Divisions
FHI has four main divisions:
- The automobile division, Subaru, has been manufacturing and selling automobiles since 1954 and now has 1,970 dealers in 100 countries.
- The aerospace division is a contractor for the Japan Defense Agency and markets and sells both commercial and defense-related aircraft, helicopters and Unmanned aerial vehicle. This division used to build the Fuji FA200 Aero Subaru and is currently participating in the Airbus A380, Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Hawker 4000 and Eclipse 500 programs, and supplies parts for Boeing 737, Boeing 747 and Boeing 767.
- The industrial products division manufactures and sells equipment under the Robin brand. Fuji's industrial products division began manufacturing “Star” engines for Polaris Industries snowmobiles in 1968, and Fuji remains a Polaris engine supplier to this day. Fuji has provided more than 2 million engines used in Polaris snowmobiles, ATVs, watercraft and utility vehicles. Polaris and Fuji: A Long History of a Powerful Partnership
- The eco technology division manufactures and sells garbage trucks, robot sweeper, and wind turbines.
- FHI discontinued the production of buses, and railroad cars in 2003.
The company's four divisions all share their technological advancements with one another, which has made FHI a leader in innovation. In particular, they apply a great deal of their aircraft technology to their automotive division, the most notable example being the horizontally-opposed Flat engine#Boxer engines used in all modern Subaru automobiles.
