The team recently held a session with their distributors in Ghana which saw over 75 of their key partners attending.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Go Africa\u2019 project, is aimed at developing the Toshiba products and widening the company\u2019s market base to enable them connect with customers in Africa so they better assist them improve their products.<\/p>\n<p>The company has announced a technological plan to descend heavily on reprobates who are into selling fake Toshiba products on the African market. To this effect, a road show is being planned to assist customers of the company to identify genuine Toshiba products from the inferior ones.<\/p>\n<p>To start off, Varghese said it is important that patrons of Toshiba products in Africa always do their purchasing from authorized offices to avoid buying fake products. He hinted that the company\u2019s legal team is considering some smart ways of tackling the fake product situation in Africa which agreeably has become a menace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand that sometimes they pay money which is sometimes higher than the price for the original ones before they realise they\u2019ve bought a fake product. So we\u2019re working with our team to stop this thing, and I think the best way is to engage our customers, to know the real thing on the ground, and to show them the benefits of getting an original product,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Toshiba has been a leader of innovation in the Hard Disk Drive business since 1967 and has succeeded in making its products more compact with higher capacities.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 23 February 2018 Source: ghananewsonline.com.gh 2018-02-23 Santosh Varghese [middle] addressing the media As part of its \u201cGo Africa\u201d strategy which enables the company to interact with its major distributors in key African countries, Toshiba Gulf FZ intends to donate an amount of $20, 000 towards the promotion of education in Africa.
