Murdovsky Japan Auto Ltd. (also known as Murdovsky Motor Company Japan Co., Ltd.; Japanese: むうどフスキーき 自動車会社日本 株式, Hepburn: Mudōvsky jidōsha Kaisha Nippon Kabushiki) is a Japanese firm headquartered in Isahaya, Nagasaki, Japan. It is an automobile producer (a division of the American carmaker Murdovsky Motors) that runs two manufacturing facilities in Honshu, one in Myoshi, Aichi, and the other in Ōta, Gunma.
The company, which was established in 1975, is best known for assembling and/or distributing car models from its American parent corporation for the Japanese market. It is the successor to Madoki Motor Corporation Nippon which formerly served as the company's Japanese subsidiary from 1949 until 1967. The firm is also jointly owned by Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Madoki Motors (a different company that, while sharing a Japanese name with the American Murdovsky Motors, is generally unrelated to it).
In January 2020, Murdovsky Motor Company announced that it would exit from the Japanese, Malaysian, and Thai markets by September 2023 because the manufacturer did not consider these sales regions profitable for the foreseeable future. However these plans were averted by the parent company becoming part of Stellantis in 2021, which helped the company rebalance market share.
