Toshiba, a world leader in high
technology, is a diversified manufacturer and marketer of advanced
electronic and electrical products, spanning information & communications
equipment and systems, Internet-based solutions and services, electronic
components and materials, power systems, industrial and social
infrastructure systems, and household appliances.
Toshiba's early history has two strands: 1875 saw the establishment of
Tanaka Seizo-sho (Tanaka Engineering Works), Japan's first manufacturer of
telegraphic equipment. Its founder, Hisashige Tanaka (1799 - 1881), was
well known from his youth for inventions that included mechanical dolls
and a perpetual clock. Under the name Shibaura Seisaku-sho (Shibaura
Engineering Works), his company became one of Japan's largest
manufacturers of heavy electrical apparatus. In 1890, Hakunetsu-sha & Co.,
Ltd. was established as Japan's first plant for electric incandescent
lamps. Subsequent diversification saw the company evolve as a manufacturer
of consumer products. In 1899, the company was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo
Electric Co.).
In 1939, these two companies, leaders in their respective fields, merged
to form an integrated electric equipment manufacturer, Tokyo Shibaura
Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd.). The company was soon well known
as 'Toshiba,' which became its official name in 1978.
By continually developing innovative
technologies centering on the fields of Electronics and Energy, Toshiba
strives to create products and services that enhance human life, and which
lead to a thriving, healthy society. They constantly seek new approaches
that help realize the goals of the world community, including ways to
improve the global environment.
In the office and in the home, on the
move, throughout today's connected world, Toshiba applies cutting-edge
capabilities to the creation of digital products and solutions that make a
difference. A determination to meet diverse market needs in the era of
digital convergence supports Toshiba in maintaining their leading position
in key digital product areas. Their product mix is optimized for
success in high-growth areas such as digital consumer products and mobile
equipment, and in key markets, including the fast growing markets of the
world. By delivering core infrastructure for power generation systems,
industrial systems and for essential social needs, Toshiba provides firm
foundations for society's well-being and continued progress.
As a corporate citizen of planet Earth,
Toshiba puts CSR (corporate social responsibility) at the heart of its
management. They prioritize respect for life and safety and full
compliance in all activities and by every employee. They see environmental
protection as particularly important. Through our “Environmental Vision

Toshiba Group’s overall eco-efficiency ten-fold by fiscal 2050, through

of subsidiaries and affiliates, with some 198,000 employees worldwide
engaged in all aspects of Toshiba’s business: from advanced research to

the very process of enhancing Toshiba’s globalization in fact, rests on
