(KHI) traces its origins to an industrial shipyard in Tsukiji, Tokyo, established by Shozo Kawasaki in 1878. In 1896, KHI was incorporated under the laws of Japan as Kawasaki Dockyard Co., Ltd. The Company later expanded its business to include the manufacture of rolling stock, steel, steel structures, industrial machinery, automobiles and aircraft. KHI also engaged in the shipping business through the company known as Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., which later became an independent company. In 1939, KHI adopted its present name, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. In 1950, KHI’s steel manufacturing division was divested and Kawasaki Steel Corporation was formed. In 1969, Kawasaki Aircraft Co., Ltd. and Kawasaki Rolling Stock Mfg. Co., Ltd., former divisions which had been divested, were merged back into KHI, forming an integrated heavy industry enterprise. KHI established a subsidiary in the United States to sell its motorcycles in 1966. In 1975, through its local subsidiary, KHI began to produce motorcycles in the United States ahead of any other Japanese producer of any type of motor vehicle. Subsequently, through its U.S. subsidiaries, KHI began to manufacture rolling stock in New York in 1986, wheel loaders in Georgia in 1987, and small gasoline engines in Missouri in 1989. In 1993, KHI established a local subsidiary to acquire a hydraulic machinery manufacturing business in Plymouth, U.K., its first production facility in Europe. In 2001, KHI built a new rolling stock plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, where we already have a motorcycle plant.
