{{nihongo|Subaru Corporation|株式会社{{ruby|SUBARU|スバル}}|Kabushiki-gaisha Subaru}}, formerly {{Nihongo|Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd.|富士重工業株式会社|Fuji Jūkōgyō Kabushiki gaisha}}, is a Japanese multinational corporation and conglomerate primarily involved in both terrestrial and aerospace transportation manufacturing. It is best known for its line of Subaru automobiles. Founded in 1953, the company was named Fuji Heavy Industries until 2017. The company's aerospace division is a defense contractor to the Japanese government, manufacturing Boeing and Lockheed Martin helicopters and airplanes under license. This same division is a global development and manufacturing partner to both companies.

History

Fuji Heavy Industries traces its roots to the Nakajima Aircraft Company, a leading supplier of airplanes to the Japanese government during World War II. At the end of World War II, Nakajima was broken up by the Allied Occupation government under keiretsu legislation, and by 1950 part of the separated operation was already known as Fuji Heavy Industries.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

FHI was incorporated on July 15, 1953, when five Japanese companies, known as Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha Kogyo, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, Utsunomiya Sharyo, and Tokyo Fuji Sangyo, joined to form one of Japan's largest manufacturers of transportation equipment.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

By late 1980s, the company was a major supplier of military, aerospace and railroad equipment in Japan, but 80% of its sales came from automobiles. Sales in 1989 fell 15% to US$4.3 billion.[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-06-29-fi-857-story.html "Former Nissan Executive Will Head Fuji"]. Los Angeles Times, June 29, 1990 In 1990, the company faced a loss of over US$500 million. Industrial Bank of Japan Ltd., the main bank of the company, asked Nissan Motor, which owned 4.2% of the company, to step in. Nissan sent Isamu Kawai, the president of Nissan Diesel Motor Co., to take charge of FHI.[https://www.bloomberg.com/bw/stories/1992-10-25/for-bankrupt-companies-happiness-is-a-warm-keiretsu "For Bankrupt Companies, Happiness Is a Warm Keiretsu"] by Robert Neff, Bloomberg, Oct 25, 1992 In 1991, FHI started contract-manufacturing Nissan Pulsar (Nissan Sunny in Europe) sedans and hatchbacks.[https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/01/27/fuji-to-build-nissan-models/ "Fuji to Build Nissan Models"], Chicago Tribune, January 27, 1991.

Currently, the Subaru Corporation makes Subaru brand cars, and its aerospace division makes utility and attack helicopters for the Japanese Self Defense Force, trainers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and the center wings of Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 jets. In the past, FHI made parts for the Hawker Beechcraft and Eclipse Aviation business jets.

In 2003, the company adopted the logo of its Subaru automobile division as its worldwide corporate symbol.{{cite press release

On October 5, 2005 Toyota purchased 8.7% of FHI shares from General Motors, which had owned 20.1% since 1999.{{Cite news| last = Shimizu | first = Kaho | title = Toyota to buy Fuji shares in GM selloff | newspaper = The Japan Times | date = 2005-10-06 | url = http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2005/10/06/national/toyota-to-buy-fuji-shares-in-gm-selloff}} GM later divested its remaining 11.4% stake on the open market to sever all ties with FHI. FHI previously stated there might have been 27 million shares (3.4%) acquired before the start of trading by an unknown party on October 6, 2005, and speculation suggested a bank or perhaps another automaker was involved. After the purchase, Toyota announced a contract with Subaru on March 13, 2006, to use the underutilized Subaru manufacturing facility in Lafayette, Indiana, as well as plans to hire up to 1,000 workers and set aside an assembly line for the Camry, beginning in the second quarter of 2007.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

In June 2014, the company entered into a contract with Boeing Commercial Airplanes, as one of five major Japanese companies contracted, to build parts for Boeing's 777X aircraft.{{cite news |title=Boeing enters pact with Japanese consortium for supply of 777X plane parts |url=http://www.chicagochronicle.com/index.php/sid/222852667/scat/3a8a80d6f705f8cc/ht/Boeing-enters-pact-with-Japanese-consortium-for-supply-of-777X-plane-parts |access-date=12 June 2014 |work=Chicago Chronicle |archive-date=July 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727074914/http://www.chicagochronicle.com/index.php/sid/222852667/scat/3a8a80d6f705f8cc/ht/Boeing-enters-pact-with-Japanese-consortium-for-supply-of-777X-plane-parts |url-status=dead }}

In May 2016, Fuji Heavy Industries announced that it would change its name to Subaru Corporation, with the change effective on April 1, 2017.{{cite web |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15348676/subaru-parent-fuji-heavy-industries-changes-its-name-to-subaru-corp |title=Subaru Parent Fuji Heavy Industries Changes Its Name to Subaru Corp. |author=Alexander Stoklosa |date=12 May 2016 |website=Car and Driver|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190428093122/https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15348676/subaru-parent-fuji-heavy-industries-changes-its-name-to-subaru-corp/|archive-date= 28 April 2019|url-status= live}}{{cite press release |url=https://www.subaru.co.jp/press/file/uploads/news/en2017_0331_1.pdf |title=News Release |website=Subaru Corporation|date= 31 March 2017|access-date= 3 October 2022|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210513194302/https://www.subaru.co.jp/press/file/uploads/news/en2017_0331_1.pdf|archive-date= 13 May 2021|url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=https://www.subaru.co.jp/ |title=株式会社SUBARU（スバル）企業情報サイト|website=株式会社SUBARU（スバル）企業情報サイト |language=ja|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170404132058/https://www.subaru.co.jp/|archive-date= 4 April 2017|url-status=dead}}

Divisions

Subaru has two main divisions:

The automobile division, Subaru.
The aerospace division is a contractor for the Japan Defense Agency and markets and sells both commercial and defense-related aircraft, helicopters and target drones. It will also be responsible for providing maintenance for the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft.[https://www.dvidshub.net/video/461108/aircraft-maintainers-demonstrate-mv-22b-osprey-systems-atsugi Aircraft Maintainers Demonstrate MV-22B Osprey Systems at Atsugi April 23, 2016] DVIDS Retrieved November 14, 2016[http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/10/24/national/osprey-noise-levels-measured-gsdfs-kisarazu-camp-chiba-prefecture/ Osprey noise levels measured at GSDF’s Kisarazu camp in Chiba Prefecture October 25, 2016] Japan Times Retrieved November 14, 2016 This division previously built the FA-200 Aero Subaru and is currently participating in the Airbus A380, Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Hawker 4000 and Eclipse 500 programs, and supplies parts for the Boeing 737, Boeing 747 and Boeing 767.

Former divisions

Subaru discontinued the production of buses and railroad cars in 2003.
The eco technology division manufactured and sold garbage trucks, robot sweepers, and wind turbines.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
Discontinued in 2017, the Subaru Industrial Power Products division manufactured and sold commercial engines, pumps and generators which were formerly under the Subaru-Robin and Robin brands. Subaru's industrial products division, began manufacturing "Star" engines for Polaris Industries snowmobiles in 1968 but engine manufacturing operations ended in 1998 when Polaris Industries started to build their own Liberty two-stroke engines. Subaru remains an invested partner with, and supplier of pistons to, Polaris. Subaru has provided more than 2 million engines used in Polaris snowmobiles, ATVs, watercraft and utility vehicles.{{cite web|url=http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/RidersPortal/EscapeOnline/PolarisHistorical/HIstoricalFuji.htm|title=Polaris and Fuji: A Long History of a Powerful Partnership}}
