We are pleased to announce the 11th Toshiba Machine Group Solution Fair, which will take place this year over a three day period of May 16 (Thursday), 17 (Friday), and 18 (Saturday).

The concept for this fair is "Expansive Innovations for Expanding Markets, offering the best solution ideas to customers. "We will be presenting our broad range of support meeting the changing needs of the times for customers doing business domestically or internationally.

The theme of "Expansive Innovations" touch upon the increasing demand for energy and resources, the growing sophistication of travel and transportation methods, and the increasing globalization of information, with growth in a wide variety of sectors, such as optics, nanotechnology, electronics, energy and the environment, automobiles and transportation. "Expanding Markets," meanwhile, touch upon the development of WTP (Willingness To Pay) products, the expansion of overseas production, and enhancement of sales and service locations that is prompting a region-based multi-domestic approach to global markets.

The Toshiba Machine Group will exhibit injection molding machines, die-casting machines, plastic extrusion machines, micro-pattern imprinting machines, high-precision machines, machine tools, industrial robots, control systems, hydraulic equipment, casting and machining processes, retrofit and after-sale services, collaborative system engineering applications, and the newest products and technologies which meets these needs.

The increasingly global business environment surrounding markets requires us to respond swiftly. We recognize that we will need to adopt a broader viewpoint in our approach to the growing expectations in each of these expanding markets. By moving forward with initiatives under these two themes, we aim to help our customers maximize benefits.

The Toshiba Machine Group would like to invite you to come and witness the continuous evolution of our advanced technologies. We look forward to seeing you at the Solution Fair in May.

Sincerely Yours,

Kazuo Takamura
Solution Fair Committee Chairman
Director, Global Corporate Strategy Head Office
