Three Greatest Moments In Toto Asia History
The Band Toto Asia
Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. Toto saw North America as a growth market for Washlet bidets and toilets, in contrast to its "base" markets of Japan and China.

Origins
The early history of Toto that began in 1917, mirrored Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the first half of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demand for new, modern urban housing. To accomplish this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the country that produced ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for more efficiency and consistency.
In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began expanding overseas to profit from sales and new markets. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products from other manufacturers in order to expand its line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm’s global market share.
In the late 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development for household appliances that use water. It also improved its distribution system to better meet the needs of customers and increase profits. The company adopted a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain and used the same method in its sales program. This led to a higher level of satisfaction with the customer.
Toto has continued to innovate on the toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for example is equipped with a powerful tornado flush that is more ecologically friendly than conventional toilets.

In addition to toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than typical models.

Before the formation of Toto, members of the group did sessions for many musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather and drummer Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also performed on albums by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.
