Editorial Dear Toshiba partner, Dear friends,
Nobody has to suffer from the heat thanks to TOSHIBA air conditioners.
GOOD FEEDBACK OF PREPONED START OF THE SEASON The TOSHIBA season start has been brought forward by one month this year and it has paid off: we were spoiled already in February with very mild temperatures! In many places there was given a foretaste of summer which has reminded many of us especially one thing: the heat wave in 2013, where the 40 degree mark was cracked for the first time. So great prospects for another hot summer, also for the reason, as the TOSHIBA stocks are full and many new product innovations wait for their buyers.
T
here were actually several reasons to launch the new price list already in March: on the one hand we wanted to give you, dear partner, more time in order to prepare yourself carefully for the season 2014. On the other hand this decision enabled us to forward all the price advantages arising from the production transfer from Japan to the new factory in Thailand/Bangkok to you one month earlier. In the meantime you should have also received all the new materials, binders and folders to support you strongly in your daily business. You might have noticed, that the theme of “air conditioning” in the media is currently doing well. Looking more closely, there is a very positive change in the reporting. The “power hungry” air conditioning units tend towards “everyday helpers” that make great climate and not sick, providing a proper dimensioning, instal-
lation and use. In many areas a good indoor climate has become indispensable, as it not only increases comfort, but also the productivity. For years TOSHIBA is in the position to cover many applications with its wide range, from residential cases to complex hotels or shopping centers. No matter how great the cooling or heating load may be, one thing does not change for sure: the quality and reliability of TOSHIBA air conditioners.
Every year I wonder how fast the labor-intensive weeks and months of preparation pass and in an instant you are standing in the middle of the season. At this point, please allow me to point out that the season 2014 is something very special for me: it’s my 25th AIR-COND TOSHIBA year. In this way I would like to thank sincerely my mentor, DI Werner Hochegger, owner of Air-Cond. He gave me many years ago the opportunity to work for him, to have a career and for many years I have been enjoying his confidence. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Great thanks also to YOU, dear Toshiba partner! Even if in many companies already the younger generations are at the helm, I am particularly pleased to work with a number of partners from the beginning. With the one or the other partner already a 20-year jubilee was celebrated! An important partner was and is also our supplier – TOSHIBA: many of the managers with whom we work and have worked have become friends over the years. And “last but not least“: a huge “THANK YOU” to my team, without whose efforts and assistance Air-Cond has never become such a successful company. It was a wonderful time with ups and downs, to which I look back with pleasure. Back in the present, I expect a successful season 2014 and look forward to meeting new challenges with great joy! I wish you all the best for this season and a hot summer! Yours Jürgen Unterrainer
