Established in 1964, UDMI started the production of Mitsubishi trucks in 1966, the Galant sedans in 1972, and the L 200 pick-ups in 1981. From 1965 60% of the company’s shares belonged to Mitsu­bishi. In 1987 UDMI merged with Sittipol (from 1961 Mitsubishi distributor in Thailand), forming MMC Sittipol. In 2001 Mitsubishi increased its stake in the company from the original 46.2% to 99.9%, and in November 2003 changed its name to Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co. Ltd.

In October 2004 Thai facilities launched the production of the Grandis minivan (2.4-liter 165 hp), marketed as the Space Wagon. The Strada / L 200 4x4/4x2 pick up was introduced in 1995, upda­ted in 2002 and replaced with the second generation in 2004.
