History
In October 1998, Mitsubishi Electric reconfigured its U.S. business operations by shutting down the Astronet subsidiary along with its cellular mobile division to prioritize digital television technology, computer hardware development, and building system solutions.
By June 2000, a joint venture equally owned by Mitsubishi Electric and NEC Corporation was established under the name NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America to consolidate their monitor manufacturing and marketing efforts in the U.S.
In May 2003, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products Inc. inaugurated a 50,000 square-foot headquarters combined with a manufacturing plant located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania to bolster production capabilities.
The company withdrew from the consumer television segment for displays measuring 65 inches or less in the U.S. market in May 2011 while launching Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America Inc. based in Irvine, California to focus on large-format visual display systems.
April 2013 saw the commencement of operations at a $200 million facility spanning 350,000 square feet dedicated to power transformer production in Memphis, Tennessee; the initial transformer was delivered in December 2014.
Mitsubishi Electric formed the Visual and Imaging Systems Division in April 2014 to handle marketing efforts related to display walls and imaging technologies. Additionally, by 2017 the company discontinued sales of photovoltaic modules within the United States.
In January 2018, Mitsubishi Electric acquired Powerex Inc.’s power device distribution segment—previously a joint venture with General Electric—and incorporated it into its newly named Semiconductors and Devices Division.
Also during January 2018, a 50-50 joint venture was launched between Mitsubishi Electric and Ingersoll-Rand aimed at distributing zoned comfort solutions along with variable refrigerant flow systems throughout the U.S. and select markets in Latin America.
