[AFP] Japanese electronics giant Toshiba Corp. said Wednesday that it would stop making mobile telephones in Japan as part of efforts to recover from its biggest ever loss.
Toshiba will end production of mobile phones at its Hino plant in western Tokyo in September and outsource the manufacturing to overseas firms.
"As the result, we will finish our production of mobile phones in Japan although product development and design will continue at our Hino plant," said Toshiba spokesman Keisuke Omori.
"It's part of our effort to reduce fixed costs and achieve profit as we are facing a tough period," Omori said, adding that it had no plan to cut any jobs as a result of the move.
