Origins

The early history of Toto, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It used the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered automation for production control, which allows for greater efficiency and a more consistent production.

The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s in order to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other products of manufacturers to complement its own range of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.

In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and boost profits. The company implemented a just-in-time approach to supply chain management, and it used the same methodology for its sales process. This resulted in a higher level of satisfaction with the customer.
