FMA Congresses and Toshiba are Drawing on Heritage and Technology to Provide Leading LED Lighting Solutions

MONTREAL, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- When consumers think of Toshiba, most think of world-class electronics and semiconductor technologies, and that would be an accurate association. As of September 2009, Toshiba International Corporation brought its LED Lighting Division to the U.S. with a lofty environmental vision and a rich history of global technology and lighting innovations in Japan.

Toshiba's Environmental Vision 2050 is a worldwide effort to improve the eco-efficiency of all of the company's business processes and products by five times by the year 2025 and by ten times by 2050, with LED lighting systems playing a major role. As a result, Toshiba is emerging as a leader in solid state lighting solutions.

As the company spreads its message and awareness of its products in a relatively short time, the FMA Congress in August provided the perfect platform for National Energy Accounts Manager John Hasson and his colleagues to educate influencers about the technology.

"We've had very good interaction at the event," said Hasson. "People are very excited to see a large corporation like Toshiba getting involved in the industry, and not only with the current products but with our future lines currently in research and development."

In their short time in the U.S., the company's focus has been at more lighting-specific events, but the team has found the FMA Congress to be beneficial because, according to Hasson, "It has opened up doors for us to companies that may not have considered Toshiba as a resource."

Hasson said he would like to work with FMA in the future based on the broad ranges of speakers talking about their success stories and the quality of presentations offered at the conference.
