Origins

The early history of Toto which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic growth. In the beginning of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demands of new, modern urban housing. To achieve this, it used the country's first tunnel kiln that produced ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered automation to allow production control, which helps to increase efficiency and consistency.

In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began expanding overseas in order to benefit from sales and new markets. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other manufacturers' products to expand its range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the firm’s global market share.

In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development for household appliances that use water. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and boost profits.

Toto also produces bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than standard models.
