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.
Hisashige Tanaka opened
a telegraph equipment factory in Shimbashi, Tokyo.

Message from the President
Toshiba has emerged from a series of business and organizational restructurings as a stronger company and a more clearly defined Group. In my presidency, I am determined to build on this by achieving sustained growth with profit in all our business segments.
A Toshiba for Tomorrow
Toshiba’s activities span the high growth domains of Electronic Devices & Components and Digital Products, the stable growth domain of Infrastructure Systems, and Home Appliances. We are promoting the strategies and capital investments required to achieve growth in all of these areas. This year we have deployed our three year mid-term plan to fiscal year 2008, under which we are channeling significant resources into key businesses that will sustain further growth and add to profitability. This strategy can be seen in our capital investments in new semiconductor facilities, particularly for NAND flash memory, our commitment to building a global presence in the nuclear power business, and our drive for leadership in the AV market through products such as HD DVD and the next-generation display, SED.
Multiplier Effect of Innovations
The growth we are aiming for demands wide-ranging innovation in the way we do business. Through our Group-wide “i cube” program, we are promoting innovation in development, innovation in manufacturing and innovation in sales, along with the multiplier effect of applying these advances throughout our operations. We want to go beyond conventional methods of incremental improvements and use “i cube” as a means to empower everybody in Toshiba, so that they can not only develop their capabilities to the full but bring a sense of urgency to their work and to the development of business processes that add to the bottom line.
Execute Management with CSR
Another essential aspect of the way we do business at Toshiba is respect for our corporate social responsibilities (CSR). As a matter of course we comply with laws and regulations. We cultivate robust corporate ethics and ensure honesty and transparency in our management practice. Looking to the future, we promote strict environmental management and auditing, seek to reduce the environmental loads of our products, and promote measures to help protect the global environment. We also work closely with the communities in which we operate through numerous outreach programs and voluntary activities.
Perhaps our most important mission is to contribute to a better life for the people who use Toshiba products, systems and services. We will do that by applying proactive management and continuous innovation to advances that support sustained growth with profit and the continued evolution of a strong, dynamic Toshiba Group.
