Origins

The early history of Toto which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the beginning of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demands of new, modern urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the nation to continuously produce ceramics. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for more efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding internationally in the late 1980s in order to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and distribute other manufacturers' products to enhance its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the market share of the company globally.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis to research and development of household appliances that use water. It also redesigned its distribution system to better serve its customers and increase profit. The company embraced a just-in time approach to supply chain management and applied the same methodology for its sales process. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Discography

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a stronger, more constant effort with a harder edge than Hydra.
