Toshiba Corporation (株式会社東芝 Kabushiki-gaisha Tōshiba) is a Japanese multinational engineering and electronics conglomerate corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
Its products and services include information technology and
communications equipment and systems, electronic components and
materials, power systems, industrial and social infrastructure systems,
household appliances, medical equipment, office equipment, lighting and
logistics.
Toshiba was founded in 1938 as Tokyo Shibaura Electric K.K.
through the merger of Shibaura Seisaku-sho (founded in 1875) and Tokyo
Denki (founded in 1890). The company name was officially changed to
Toshiba Corporation in 1978. Toshiba has made numerous corporate
acquisitions during its history, including of Semp in 1977, of
Westinghouse Electric Company in 2006, of Landis+Gyr in 2011, and of IBM's point-of-sale business in 2012.
Toshiba is organised into four main business groupings: the Digital Products Group, the Electronic Devices Group, the Home Appliances Group and the Social Infrastructure Group. In 2010, Toshiba was the world's fifth-largest personal computer vendor measured by revenues (after Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer and Lenovo).[3] In the same year, it was also the world's fourth-largest manufacturer of semiconductors by revenues (after Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics and Texas Instruments).
Toshiba is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, where it is a constituent of the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indices, the Osaka Securities Exchange, the Nagoya Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.
Toshiba was founded in 1939 by the merger of Shibaura Seisakusho (Shibaura Engineering Works) [4] and Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric). Shibaura Seisakusho had been founded as Tanaka Seisakusho by Tanaka Hisashige in 1875 as Japan's first manufacturer of telegraph equipment.[5] In 1904, it was renamed Shibaura Seisakusho. Through the first decades of the 20th century Shibaura Seisakusho had become a major manufacturer of heavy electrical machinery as Japan modernized during the Meiji Era and became a world industrial power. Tokyo Denki was founded as Hakunetsusha in 1890 and had been Japan's first producer of incandescent electric lamps. It later diversified into the manufacture of other consumer products and in 1899 had been renamed Tokyo Denki. The merger of Shibaura and Tokyo Denki created a new company called Tokyo Shibaura Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric) (東京芝浦電気). It was soon nicknamed Toshiba, but it was not until 1978 that the company was officially renamed Toshiba Corporation.
Toshiba offers a wide range of products and services, including air conditioners,[24] consumer electronics (including televisions and DVD and Blu-ray players),[25] control systems (including air-traffic control systems, railway systems, security systems and traffic control systems),[26] electronic point of sale equipment,[27] elevators and escalators,[28] home appliances (including refrigerators and washing machines),[24] IT services,[29] lighting,[24][30] materials and electronic components,[31] medical equipment (including CT and MRI scanners, ultrasound equipment and X-ray equipment),[32] office equipment,[27] personal computers,[25] semiconductors,[33] power systems (including electricity turbines, fuel cells and nuclear reactors)[34] power transmission and distribution systems,[26] and TFT displays.[35]
