Tokyo, October 5, 2011 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc., its 100% subsidiary selling industrial automation equipment in the U.S., has made a 19.9% equity investment in the U.S. software company ICONICS to enable Mitsubishi Electric to incorporate ICONICS’ supervisory-control and data-acquisition (SCADA) software in factory and process automation solutions primarily for new social infrastructure opportunites in emerging markets. But what about CITECT.

I found this odd too, since a couple years ago Japan announced a partnership with Wonderware. Doesn't Citect already have a big relationship with Schneider? I don't know that MEAU has ever done anything with Citect.

If you read the headline, it was Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. that purchased this. That is the US division, not Japan. So I doubt this will have any affect on what Mitsubishi Europe does.
