Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), a significant global player in the engineering and heavy industries sector, is part of the larger Mitsubishi group, operating 300 different companies around the world. The corrugated manufacturing division, based in Hunt Valley, MD, is known for its flagship machine, the Evol, used ubiquitously for manufacturing cardboard boxes.
