--FILE--View of the headquarters of Japanese multinational conglomerate Toshiba in Beijing, China, 2 July 2015. Toshiba Carrier Air Conditioning (China) Co Ltd invested 400 million yuan ($57.97 million) in building a production base in Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Area in 2013 and by 2017 its sales volume had reported an annual increase of over 25 percent for three consecutive years. In 2006, Toshiba Carrier founded a sales branch in Shanghai to sell imported Toshiba air conditioners in China. As the sales rose with a stable momentum, the Japanese group decided to launch a Chinese production base in Hangzhou. To save cost and time, the company rented local buildings for production. The newly opened production branch adopts the same management system and standards with its Japanese factory for quality test, ensuring that products made in China are as good as the imported ones.
