Mr.Hiroyuki Suzuki, president of TOTO (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and distributer of a world-class innovative and modern design sanitary products, remarks that the company has been a leading innovator in sanitary ware technology for over 100 years and continuously gives importance to product development. According to the research by Euromonitor International Ltd., the international market research company, “Washlet is the world’s No.1 brand of electric toilet seats with bidet functions in 2016”. This research certainly ensures TOTO’s success in distributing innovative sanitary products.
Recently, WASHLET™ market has been expanding rapidly worldwide especially in Asia and USA, so the company has invested 1,073 million baht in building the 3rd factory in Thailand to emphasize on manufacturing WASHLET™.
In order to build this new factory, TOTO has gathered new technologies and skills to develop and make the manufacturing more effective such as an LED lighting system, and installing the air condition in the resin-casting area. Moreover, the 3rd factory emphasize on reusing drained water from the factory, and installing tunnel kilns that saves more energy and mass produce. All of the policies mentioned will be implemented according to TOTO Global Environmental Vision that was established in 2014.
The 3rd factory will begin construction in May 2018 and start its operations in April 2020 with production capability of 420,000 pieces per year. Recently, TOTO group has 5 WASHLET™ factories which 2 factories are in Japan, and the others are located abroad (including the new factory in Thailand).
The investment of constructing the 3rd factory is TOTO GROUP’s strategy that plan to expand the global market through WASHLET™ from 2018 onwards.
Furthermore, TOTO has launched new product, “WASHLET™+”. To meet customers’ needs, “WASHLET™+” is designed perfectly. The major design evolutions in WASHLET™+ is that all connecting pipes and cords are hidden to eliminate unnecessary visual noise from beautifully-designed spaces. Not only the outside look, but TOTO also adopted a simple design with curves for the inside of the toilet seat. The result is a shape that resists collecting debris and is easy to clean when it does. In addition, three innovative technologies form clean synergy create a new sense of cleanliness. Firstly, TORNADO FLUSH not only cleans more effectively, it does so quietly using less water. Powerful streams of water merge and swirl 360 degrees, washing every spot inside the RIMLESS toilet bowl. CEFIONTECT is an ultra-smooth ceramic glaze that coats the toilet bowl. Its microscopic surface ridges are far smaller than waste particles, leaving no place for waste to gain a foothold. Finally, EWATER+ or electrolyzed water can remove waste, even bacteria that can not see. Apart from clean synergy technologies, WASHLET™+ has all functions to provide greatest comfort for customers.
At present, TOTO has established a business connection to introduce the idea of high value added products and increase TOTO product usage in well-known real estate projects.
In March 2017, TOTO opened TOTO Technical Center Bangkok, a showroom that targets professional clients and clients in the real estate industry, including developers and designers whom are responsible for the real estate upper market in Southeast Asia.
