The Band Toto Asia

Origins

The company was founded in 1917 and its early years mirrored Japan's economic growth. In the beginning, Toto manufactured goods to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, which helps to increase efficiency and a more consistent production.

The company began expanding overseas in the latter part of the 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and distributing other manufacturers' products to complement its own range of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy boosted sales and expanded the firm's global market share.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development of water-related household appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and improve profit. The company implemented a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain and used the same method in its sales strategy. This led to a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to develop toilet technology. The most recent toilet features a powerful, environmentally-friendly tornado flush. The company also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green procurement policy. Toto also manufactures faucets, bathtubs and hand dryers that have higher energy efficiency than typical models.

The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It features exhibits on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are made from ceramics) as well as the history of plumbing and even bath units. In another gallery, visitors can see Toto products that are sold throughout. The museum also has a bathroom with a washbasin and other toilet innovations.

Discography

It is common for a group with a name such as Asia to be a prog rock group however it's actually a relatively straightforward rock outfit.
