CSG smooths Toshiba’s entry to Ireland

[ October 5, 2026   //   ]

Global technology provider Toshiba says its partnership with Customs Support Group (CSG) has been instrumental in the launch of its new Republic of Ireland branch.

CSG was already acting as customs agent for Toshiba Tec’s European headquarters which then opened its UK arm, Toshiba Tec UK Imaging Systems Limited, during preparations for Brexit, to smooth shipments from its European distribution centre in Germany across the UK border.

Now Toshiba has engaged CSG to help it establish its new Republic of Ireland branch, which went live on September 1.

CSG is now providing hands-on help for Toshiba as it launches into the Republic of Ireland, advising on requirements for moving goods compliantly and cost-effectively, including the complexities of shipping between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Richard Hester, head of operations at Camberley-based Toshiba Tec UK, said: “They have immense knowledge, immense patience, and the way that they’ve detailed it to us is very much in layman’s terms. What they also offer us is a consultancy perspective, to identify opportunities for savings. That’s very much an ongoing service which we’re looking forward to expanding, because they’re the experts and we believe they can save us money on our processes.

With the go live date in Ireland approaching, he continued: “As with Brexit, they explained it all in layman’s terms and were very clear about the legalities and our responsibilities, so we would not be left vulnerable as a business.”

Keiron Myall, UK&IE managing director at Customs Support Group, added: “We will be on hand to offer the practical guidance and support Toshiba has come to rely on us for as it starts trading in the Republic of Ireland, to ensure its supply chain continues to run smoothly.”
