Overview
Matabushi Incorporated is a company that builds DropShips for the Draconis Combine Admiralty. This foray into the military market only occurred in the mid-3050's. Prior to that, Matabushi was best known on Pesht, where it produced computers and electronics for the civilian market. The Pesht office also served as a center for interstellar trade and finance.[2]
During the long Jihad, the facility on Avon suffered capital and personnel losses of 35%, and the operating capacity of the factory had been reduced to 80% of their main production volume in 3079,[3] but the plant was quickly restored to full production.[4]

Notes
Matabushi Incorporated first appeared in MechWarrior I, but it should be noted that the canonicity of that game is uncertain. In the game, Matabushi's main headquarters is stated to be the planet Albiero, in the Draconis Combine. Duke Ishi Tahiro and Marquis Tanji Koetsu, both Chief Executive Officers, were in charge between 3024 and 3029 when Matabushi executed Operation Inroad.
