About Toshiba
Looking back 135 years to Toshiba’s origins, it is still possible to see the spirit of the founders in today’s drive to innovate.
Their commitment to innovation has become part of the company’s DNA – an instinctive urge that took on a new and remarkable form in 1985 when Toshiba produced the world’s first industry-standard notebook.
This device revolutionised business and computing, as it ran the same software programs that professionals and executives were using on mainframes in the workplace.
This innovation triggered the mobile revolution and led to the extraordinary growth of mobile devices and to radical changes in the way we work and play.
