Mitsui & Co. Is a Globally Diversified Trading Firm With Strength in Resources

Mitsui’s strategy emphasizes global resource development, infrastructure, and industrial solutions, supported by deep domain expertise and long-term partnerships. It is one of the most resource-heavy of the five major Japanese trading houses, with industrial metals and LNG together accounting for the majority of profits in an average year. These businesses position Mitsui as a key participant in Japan’s energy and resource security strategy, particularly in LNG, where it has a broad portfolio of upstream assets and offtake arrangements.
