INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS COMPANY
In FY2006, sales grew on the strength of our performance in locomotives and rolling
stock electrical equipment; an increase in large projects, including railway station serv-
ice systems related to “PASMO” contactless smartcards; and sales of general-purpose
industrial motors and inverters. We won orders in Japan for electrical equipment for the
Series N700 Shinkansen, and large orders overseas, including orders for electric locomo-
tives for South Africa and mail processing equipment for La Poste (France).
China’s surging demand for electric power is paralleled by demand for vacuum
interrupters, key components in power stations and factories. We responded by form-
ing a joint venture with a local sales and manufacturing company in January 2007.
We will continue to offer a wide range of industrial systems in both the Japanese
and overseas markets, and continue our positive efforts to develop new technology.
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS COMPANY
FY2006 sales and income surpassed those of the previous year, as supply of main sys-
tems for terrestrial digital broadcasts to regional broadcasters peaked and communica-
tions networks expanded.
In infrastructure systems, we focus on environmentally conscious power distribution
systems and IT solution systems for building, highway and river management facilities. In
water and environmental systems, we are deeply involved in the renewal of water purifi-
cation and sewage treatment plants, and expanding our business in environmented sys-
tems that meet social needs. In broadcasting and network systems, we will enter the
field of video production and editing, promote overseas expansion in broadcasting
equipment, and start up new business in next-generation wireless communication
equipment. In radio application systems, including radar and information processing
systems, we will anticipate changes in customer requirements and expand our range of
next-generation products, and advance measures to promote overseas business.
We contribute to society’s peace of mind, safety and comfort by providing a wide
range of environmentally conscious products and systems that serve social needs.
TOSHIBA ELEVATOR AND BUILDING SYSTEMS CORPORATION
In FY2006, sales were higher on completion of new projects in the domestic market,
particularly in the capital region, and on growth in the domestic maintenance business.
Technology innovations allowed us to market “SPACEL-EX” elevators meeting the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s measures for earthquakes and disaster
prevention, including functions for emergency rescue and automatic restoration of
operation as standard. Our P wave (initial tremor) sensor is an additional standard func-
tion that detects earthquakes as they arrive.
