New Year Address

With the keen power of improvement, we say goodbye to 2013 and usher in 2014, which opens a new hope and begins a new journey.

2013 is the most difficult year in Toshiba development history. Affected by complicated external environment, our work encountered a lot of difficulties. However, our employees unified to face the difficulties and challenges together, struggled with all efforts to convert negative factors to positive factors and finally made great achievements. Especially, the marketing realized a new breakthrough on multiple markets under the support of both parties' shareholders, changing the downturn status at one time. In the whole year, we concluded supply contracts for totally 91 sets, which not only maintained the stable production and operation in 2013, but also lay a foundation for the production in 2014 by the orders for 64 sets. This is a hard-won achievement. We hereby express earnestly thanks and high respect to all the employees on behalf of leadership!

The New Year will open a new hope, and the new journey will carry a new dream. If Changzhou Toshiba has maintained basically stable operation in 2013 in the difficulties, 2014 will be a year for making progress and improvement in stable operation, and devoting to increase of economic benefit. Although we are facing complicated external factors and the difficulties such as short lead time, more foreign products, weak reacting capacity, etc in technical and production preparation, we must be able to conquer the difficulties and create a new prosperous future of Changzhou Toshiba as long as each employee is brave in challenge, diligent in thinking, careful in working on a firm footing and constantly strives for perfection! Our slogan in 2014 is "Unified and Struggling CTC"! The future of Changzhou Toshiba will get better!

At the time of ringing out the Old Year and ringing in the New Year, we wish you all the best in work and health in the New Year!
