Which country does Toshiba come from?

Toshiba's headquarters building in Tokyo, Japan Toshiba is the largest semiconductor manufacturer and the second largest integrated motor manufacturer in Japan, which belongs to Mitsui Group. Toshiba, formerly known as Tokyo Shipu Electric Co., Ltd., was formed by the merger of Shipu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd. on 1939. Since the establishment of 1875, it has gone through a long course of 133. Company name: Toshiba Corporation slogan: Leading Innovation [1] Founded on July 1875, merged on June 1904, with registered capital of 280.3 million yen (as of the end of July 2008) and total assets of 5.366 million. 55 million yen (US$ 59.567 billion) (as of 20 10) Corporate headquarters: Tokyo Port Area1-0/Number of employees:199,000 employees (as of 20 10 8). 8.888 billion US dollars) (2065,438+00) Total issued shares: 3.2376 billion shares (as of the end of July 2008) Number of shareholders: 53,0703 (as of June 30, 2009) Shareholders' equity: 72,559.2 billion yen (8.062 billion US dollars) (2065) In 2000, the sales of Toshiba Semiconductor ranked second in the world, second only to Intel. The market share of notebook computers has remained the first in the world for seven consecutive years. By the end of 2000, the output value of information technology accounted for 74% of Toshiba's total output value. Toshiba was merged by two Japanese companies in 1939. The first of the two companies is Tanaka Manufacturing Company, which is the first telegraph equipment manufacturing company in Japan. It was founded by Tadashi Tanaka in 1875. 1904, the company changed its name to zhipu manufacturing company. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company mainly supplied heavy-duty electromechanical manufacturing in Japan. After Meiji Restoration, the company became one of the world's industrial giants. The second company, formerly known as Shirakawa, was established in 1890. It is the first company in Japan to produce white thermoelectric lamp. This company later produced various consumer electronic products and changed its name to Tokyo Electric in 1899. 1939, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd. and Shipu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. formally merged into Toshiba today, and the new name is the initials of the two companies. And its English name is also merged according to Japanese Pinyin; To stands for the pronunciation of Japanese in the east, and Shiba Inu stands for the pronunciation of cheese. However, it was not until 1984 that the company officially started to use the new brand name Toshiba. Toshiba expanded rapidly by acquiring other companies. In the 1940s and 1950s, Toshiba acquired many heavy machinery manufacturers and industrial related companies. However, after 1970s, Toshiba began to set up subsidiaries to separate the acquired companies from the core industries. These subsidiaries include: Toshiba EMI( 1960), Toshiba Electronic Equipment (1974), Toshiba Chemical (1974), Toshiba Lighting Technology (1989) and Toshiba American Information System (1989). Toshiba Notebook Toshiba is the first manufacturer in Japan to manufacture various products of Toshiba Notebook. For example: radar (1942), transistor TV and microwave oven (1959), color video phone (197 1 year), Japanese word processor (1978), notebook computer (/kloc-0) This transaction violates the CoCom agreement during the Cold War. Toshiba DVD burner has also frustrated the relationship between the United States and Japan. In the end, two senior executives of Toshiba were prosecuted and arrested, and the DVD burner of East Toshiba was also fined by both countries. In 200 1 year, Toshiba signed a contract with Orion Electronics, the world's largest OEM and component supplier of image-related electronic products. Toshiba asked them to OEM TV and VCR products; To meet the needs of the North American market. In June+February, 2004, Toshiba announced that it would stop producing traditional CRT TVs. Toshiba stopped the production of plasma TV in 2006. As the largest foundry of Toshiba, Orion took over the technical specifications of Toshiba CRT TV and plasma TV and sold them under its own brand (Orion). Toshiba has invested a lot of money in SED imaging technology to strengthen its future competitiveness in the field of digital thin TV. Before World War II, Toshiba was a member of Mitsui chaebol. Today's Toshiba belongs to Mitsui series (a loose group organization), and Toshiba has priority cooperation with enterprises in this series, such as Mitsui Bank. However, compared with the close relationship among the companies in Mitsubishi Group, Toshiba and Toyota Motor, another big company in Mitsui series, maintain considerable freedom. In July 2005, BNFL decided to sell Westinghouse Electric Company at an estimated price of $654.38 billion. This sale plan has attracted the attention of many manufacturers including Toshiba, Singular Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The end result was that Toshiba acquired Westinghouse Electric for $5 billion in June 2006. This sales case has caused a lot of discussion; Many experts believe that BNFL is selling the largest nuclear reactor manufacturer in the world, especially when China, the United States and Britain are expected to increase their investment in nuclear power generation. They think it unwise to sell Westinghouse Electric. Toshiba is an important chip manufacturer in the world. In 1980s, Toshiba and NEC were the two largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world. Since 1990s, Toshiba has been the top 5 chip factory in the world. In 2008, Toshiba ranked third, second only to Intel and Samsung, but ahead of Texas Instruments and STFT. Up to this year, Toshiba has been doing business in China for 38 years. What remains unchanged is its determination and efforts to "develop together with China". Now Toshiba is involved in digital products, electronic equipment and parts, social infrastructure and household appliances, all of which have business in China. From 65438 to 0995, Toshiba (China) Co., Ltd. was established, which strengthened Toshiba's comprehensive management function and strategy-making function for China enterprises. Up to now, Toshiba has set up 64 joint ventures and wholly-owned companies in China, with a total investment of over 8 billion yuan and a total of about 23,000 employees. In 2005, its business scale (sales in China+exports to China) was about 57 billion RMB. Apart from Japan, Toshiba's global market is divided into four regions: Europe, America, Asia and China. China is Toshiba's only national market and the largest independent market after Japan and the United States. Product categories include Toshiba's full range of products, and the business model involves R&D, procurement, production, logistics, sales, service, environmental protection and many other businesses. For Toshiba, the overseas market share in 2003 was the largest in the United States, followed by China, accounting for about 20%. It is predicted that by 2008, Toshiba's business scale in China will be equal to or even exceed that of the United States. China has undoubtedly become an important pillar of Toshiba's global business. Toshiba's rapid development in China has been supported by local talents and strategic partners in China. The cultivation and bold appointment of talents reflects Toshiba's full trust and respect for local employees. The win-win relationship with Chinese enterprises has given Toshiba a broader development space.

It can perfectly meet the needs of DIY users and entertainment audio-visual enthusiasts. MK7559GSXp still maintains the thickness of ordinary notebook hard disk of 9.5 mm under the premise of super-large storage capacity, and the length and width are both standard 100.0 mm and 69.85 mm, which is perfectly compatible with all current regular notebooks and entertainment notebooks. Super storage capacity 750GB! 750GB is simply the Warcraft of today's 2.5-inch hard disk market. Since the advent of 2.5-inch notebook hard disk, "small size, large storage capacity and high safety factor" has been the goal and purpose of Toshiba hard disk research and development. With the spirit of continuous innovation and pioneering research and development, Toshiba's 2.5-inch hard drives and 65,438+0.8-inch hard drives have hit record highs. This year, it launched a dual-disk 750GB ultrasonic notebook hard disk, which proved Toshiba's strength in small size and confidence in market development. Technically, Toshiba adopts "advanced sector format technology". This technology uses each sector to format 4K bytes, which makes the application of surface storage more efficient. In terms of product design, Toshiba adheres to the consistent spirit of environmental protection, adopts low-power technology, reduces the use of harmful chemicals, substances and compounds, does not contain halogen components, and fully complies with RoHS specifications. The MK7559GSXp with high reading rate adopts the latest Serial-ATA 2.0 interface, and the theoretical transmission speed can reach 3Gb per second. I believe DIY enthusiasts also know that Serial-ATA 2.0 interface supports the advantages of hot plug, fast transmission speed and high execution efficiency, and supports "actual data transmission rate+support for real SATA command sequencing (NCQ)+2m" (NCQ is called "native command queuing (NCQ)"). Full-speed command queue is the most advanced and anticipated function of SATA II, an important part of SATA II specification, and the only technology related to hard disk performance in SATA II specification. NCQ is a powerful interface/hard disk technology, which improves the performance and service life of hard disk by optimizing the execution sequence of internal jobs. Only the advanced serial ATA 2.0 interface supports the port selector (PS) mechanism, which allows two different host ports to connect to the hard disk, thus establishing a path for the hard disk. Another technology is port multiplier, and PM mechanism enables active hosts to communicate with multiple hard disks. These performance and technical advantages provide a flagship new hard disk for DIY enthusiasts! Edit this paragraph Toshiba deals in digital products, electronic equipment and parts, social infrastructure, home appliances and other products.
