    ACCELERATING GROWTH IN THREE CORE DOMAINS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 HISTORY Toyota Tsusho Corporation was established in 1948. As the sole general trading company in the Toyota Group, we strengthened our overseas operations in the 1980s and 1990s and expanded around our core automotive business. Thereafter, we began to expand non-automotive businesses. We merged with the trading companies Kasho Company, Ltd., in 2000 and Tomen Corporation in 2006 in order to facilitate this effort. In this manner, we have continued to expand the scope of our business. In recent years, we have been actively participating in businesses that help preserve the environment and build more plentiful societies, while continuing to leverage the foundation we have cemented in the automotive sector.
