Toshiba International Corporation Announces Partnership with Affiliated Distributors
Toshiba International Corporation, April 11, 2013—Toshiba International Corporation (TIC), a leader in application solutions and innovative technology, announced today that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Affiliated Distributors (AD), a 32-year old company comprised of independent distributors and manufacturers of construction and industrial products. The TIC product groups included in this new agreement with AD are LED Lighting Systems, Low Voltage Electric Motors, Low Voltage Adjustable Speed Drives, and Uninterruptible Power Systems.
AD provides independent distributors and manufacturers with support and resources that accelerate growth.

After in-depth evaluation and supplier visits, TIC was selected as a new member of the US Electrical Division Supplier community with a rating of 10 stars. Toshiba's membership is retroactive to January 1, 2013.
"Toshiba LED Lighting's overarching goal is to be seen as a market leader in every respect, from product quality and innovation to customer care. Coupled with the historic successes of TIC’s Industrial Division, we wanted to provide AD with TIC’s entire product offering" said Mark Altomare, Vice President of Business Development, Toshiba LED Lighting Systems Division. "We're very pleased to be included into AD’s prestigious community of distributors and manufacturers.”
AD selects its members based on overall sales volume through the group, product innovation, and breadth of line and go-to-market strategies.
