The sources say that some of its top executives have visited the mentioned location. As per the rumours, the company is set on building a new facility or assembly plant here. The fact is backed up and confirmed by one of the major Mitsubishi distributors in Russia. According to the distributor, the company is indeed planning on building an assembly plant in St. Petersburg. Mitsubishi actually sent off a whole delegation of the company’s officials to see the possibilities of setting the plan into action.

The distributor said that the team has visited the location and everybody is so excited about it. He even further added that the whole trip was made so as to gain further information on the place as the future home of a Mitsubishi plant.
The fact cannot be denied that St. Petersburg and the rest of Russia has been one of the major locations of manufacturing and assembly plants for various auto manufacturers.

The Mitsubishi delegation of officials is seriously considering the locations at the south of St. Petersburg and the area of Shushary which is the current site of plants for Japanese Toyota and American General Motors. If this plan becomes reality, then Mitsubishi would be able to produce more of their exemplary vehicles here. Apart from that, the company would also find time to create and design new vehicles for the various markets that it sells its wares to.
