Toshiba Machine to boost sales network in China, India

Published: 22 Sep 2008 20:41:06 PST

Toshiba Machine Co Ltd is increasing its overseas sales and service network for injection molding machines, with a focus on India and China. Injection moulding machines account for 60 per cent of its group sales, and Toshiba Machines intends to aggressively expand abroad because it sees the domestic market running out of room for further growth.

By the year ending March 2011, the firm intends to boost the number of overseas offices by 40 per cent to 39 bases and raise its overseas percentage of total sales by 10 points to 55 per cent.
