Origins

The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other products from other manufacturers to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy boosted sales and expanded the firm's market share.

In the 1990s Toto began to concentrate on research and development of water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve its customers and improve profit.

Discography

Line-up
