ABOUT TOSHIBA AIR CONDITIONING
In 1998, Toshiba Corporation announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the intent of forming a global alliance with Carrier Corporation. This partnership will focus their complementary capabilities on the development, manufacture and sales and marketing of air-conditioning equipment and systems to cultivate the ever-growing global marketplace for air-conditioning systems. Under this alliance, Toshiba Corporation will separate its Air Conditioning Equipment Division, and establish a joint venture company in Japan called Toshiba Carrier Corporation.
The new global alliance will highlight
the technology leadership and manufacturing experience of both companies
and combine their complementary sales and marketing networks. This
partnership allows Carrier and Toshiba Carrier Corporation to market
HVAC products with both the Carrier and Toshiba trademarks worldwide.
