Toshiba leaves the European PC market

The Japanese Corporation Toshiba stops selling personal computers in the European market, reports The Register .

Currently, European retailers will sell Toshiba PC warehouse reserves, and after their exhaustion they will stop receiving orders and fired part of the employees. At the same time, Toshiba intends to continue working in the PC markets in the United States and Japan, but will focus on the corporate sector.

According to analysts from Canlys, last year Toshiba sold about 2.8 million laptops in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, Africa), 38% less than a year earlier. At the same time, the market share of Toshiba was 3.5%.

The Register notes that Toshiba began to turn off her European business in 2014. Then the company closed offices in Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy and began to reduce jobs. In addition, in mid -February, the media reported that Toshiba was negotiating with JIP and Fujitsu about creating a joint company for the production of a PC for the Japanese market.
