Company Sale for the production of optical sensors for a Sony digital camera will enable the staff of 1,100 people. The costs associated with the reduction of the State of Toshiba, to reach $ 386 million., But in the long term, these measures will turn into savings. The number of personnel until the last Toshiba downsizing reached nearly 200 thousand people. Against this background, leaving 14,450 people does not seem catastrophic.
