Mitsubishi Motors Australia (MMAL) has broken ground on its new Australian headquarters in the Adelaide Airport business precinct. Project completion and staff relocation is expected in early 2021.
MMAL will this year celebrate its 40th anniversary in Australia and an enduring connection with South Australia, as it has evolved from a manufacturer to importer of vehicles.
MMAL’s CEO, Shaun Westcott, commented at the ground-breaking ceremony that Mitsubishi’s close ties with South Australia have played an important role in the success of Mitsubishi.
“For forty years, South Australia and Mitsubishi have been closely linked and we are pleased to be able to continue to build on these ties with this investment in our new national headquarters here in SA

“We’re confident we have the right product, the right people – and soon the right facility, to be able to continue to meet the needs of our customers for many decades to come,” said Mr Westcott.
Premier Steven Marshall, who today turned the sod on Mitsubishi’s National HQ, said this was an exciting investment that would create hundreds of local construction jobs.
“This is another vote of confidence in South Australia, and will provide a significant jobs boost in what is a challenging time for the state,” said the Premier.
“We will continue to work hand-in-glove with the private sector to ensure there are jobs for South Australians, strengthening the economy.”
Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Mark Young, said he was delighted Mitsubishi had chosen the airport to be the global gateway to its Australian business.
“It’s no accident that major companies such as Mitsubishi have recognised the benefits of being on the doorstep of a major international airport, while being central to ground transport links to the port of Adelaide and the city centre,” said Mr Young.

This project will create in excess of 700 construction jobs in South Australia and will be our fourth major project delivered on AAL land in the last five years – a testament to our great relationship with AAL.” Christopher Bate, General Manager, SA, Built.
