02 / Company & ownership

Behind the brand.

Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese technology and infrastructure group whose current businesses include energy, digital infrastructure, semiconductors and storage. Consumer products bearing Toshiba can come from transferred or licensed businesses: Toshiba ended its own overseas TV development and moved markets to licensees, while Midea acquired control of the home-appliance business under a long-term Toshiba brand licence. Always identify the category, region, actual manufacturer or licensee and its warranty before treating two Toshiba products as coming from the same company.
