Every July 1st Toshiba employees across the world celebrate the Essence of Toshiba. A celebration commemorating our founding and reaffirming our commitment, vision, and values of our organization --this is a time we are all reminded that being part of Toshiba is something special. Today, we look back at our founding and how Toshiba first began. Toshiba‘s early history has two strands: One is Tanaka Seizo-show (Tanaka Engineering Works), established in 1882, and based on a factory started by Hisashige Tanaka (1799-1881) in 1875. Tanaka was well known from his youth for creations that included mechanical dolls and a perpetual clock. Eventually, under the name Shibaura Sesamums (Shibaura Engineering Works), his company became one of Japan‘s largest manufacturers of heavy electrical apparatus. The other is Ichisuke Fujioka who founded Hakunetsu-sha & Co., Ltd. established as Japan's first manufacturer of incandescent lamps. Subsequent diversification saw the company evolve as a manufacturer of consumer products. In 1899, it became 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.

Check it out a picture of Bill Nye the Science Guy, fascinated by the Tanaka's mechanical tea serving doll replica at the Toshiba Museum back in summer of 2014. #TeamToshiba

Did you know that during WWII GE was a very large stock holder of TOSHIBA and they picked up their profits after the war, as I was told by some Toshiba management folks.

I spent 18 years at Toshiba International from basically the beginning. Without question their honesty was beyond reproach and their quality was the best in the world. It was combat but we had Toshiba behind us. Back then the Japanese Government supported the 5 biggest motor manufacturers to try to be successful in the North American market, only Toshiba succeeded, others failed.
