    Toshiba was delisted last year after 74 years on the Tokyo exchange, following a decade of troubles for the company. The entity was taken private by a group of investors led by private equity firm Japan Industrial Partners, which also includes financial services firm Orix, utility Chubu Electric Power, and chipmaker ROHM.

    The $14 billion takeover has the interest of Japan's government, as the company employs over 100,000 people and its operations are seen as critical to national security. In this video, we talk with Armin Derpmanns, VP of Marketing and Operations for Toshiba Electronics Europe, about the future of the company.
