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.

Message from the President
Norio Sasaki
Director, President and CEO
Since the last
half of 2008, the global economy has been subjected to a series of almost
unprecedented challenges. In the transition to the coming new economic era, my
first and most important mission will be to bring about an early recovery in
our business performance and propel Toshiba Group into a new era of sustained
growth with steadily higher profit, while keeping this objective in good
balance with that of strengthening our financial structure. To achieve these
goals, I intend to continually promote the restructuring of our businesses
based on an intensive analysis of the future directions of each of our
businesses and quickly respond to the new challenges presented by a changing
business era. To achieve steady future growth, we will follow a fundamental
strategy of concentrating capital investment on our key strong businesses such
as nuclear energy, semiconductors and digital equipment, including personal
computers, flat-panel televisions and mobile devices.
We put innovation
at the top of our agenda. Innovation is a pillar of our Group management and a
key source of our growth. We passionately focus on the promotion of continuous
innovations of great value to society, mobilizing Toshiba's powers of
imagination to create new technologies, products and services that will help
meet the central needs of tomorrow's society. Furthermore, I believe that
emerging countries in various regions of the world represent not only enormous
potential growth markets for Toshiba Group, but also can contribute compelling
new ideas for stimulating our innovation processes.
Capitalizing on
its many strengths, Toshiba Group will focus on building up new businesses that
will allow us to greatly contribute to efforts to help resolve some of the most
urgent issues facing the world concerning the need for energy security,
protection of the global environment, and enhancing the quality-of-life of
people everywhere. We are channeling resources to such new business areas as
next-generation network devices, carbon capture & storage systems (CCS),
solar photovoltaic systems, smart grids, SCiB rechargeable batteries and
storage devices; new LED-based lighting systems and tomorrow's vital public
facilities and healthcare systems.
With a total
commitment to becoming one of the foremost eco-companies in the world, Toshiba
Group promotes CSR-oriented management motivated by its deep convictions about
its responsibilities as a "corporate citizen of planet Earth."
Last but not
least, we place utmost importance on constantly acting with complete integrity
in all of our business activities. As we strengthen our global presence, I will
work to ensure that the worldwide Toshiba Group always places its highest
priorities on human life, safety and compliance.
I would like to
ask for everyone's encouragement and warm support.
