Toshiba Opens Canadian Mobile Subsidiary

Toshiba America Information Systems has created a Canadian subsidiary.

Toshiba Client Solutions Canada Ltd. will focus on delivering business-to-business mobile computing solutions and services to enterprise, government, education and SMB markets in Canada. The new company will maintain its offices in Markham, Ontario, and Ralph Hyatt will serve as the company’s president and CEO.

“Spinning the mobile computing business out from Toshiba of Canada Limited and aligning with Toshiba America Information Systems reaffirms Toshiba’s commitment to maintaining its mobile computing business in Canada,” said Hyatt. “This new entity will deliver expanded offerings and improved business efficiencies resulting in best-in-class solutions for our professional customers across Canada.”

As a mobile-focused organization, Toshiba Client Solutions Canada will provide its Canadian customers with expanded access to additional technical resources; an enhanced level of technical support; additional systems configurations; and build-to-order capabilities with rapid fulfillment schedules.

The Canadian organization is part of a global revitalization plan outlined by Toshiba earlier this year, which also includes the establishment of Client Solutions Division, a new business unit within Toshiba America Information Systems, in the United States.

“We are confident the creation of Toshiba Client Solutions Canada will demonstrate our long- term commitment to the Canadian marketplace,” said Mark Simons, president and CEO, Toshiba America. “In addition to the businesses in the United States and Latin America, the functional synergies Toshiba Client Solutions Canada offers will streamline and strengthen our mobile computing business in Canada and throughout the rest of the Americas.”
