The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities overseas, 토토사이트 순위 and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China.

Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words so that the next generation could understand the words. However, many words were being replaced by foreign ones, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah.

Origins

The early history of Toto that began in 1917, mirrored Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the first half, Toto produced products to meet the growing demand for modern, new urban housing. To do this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics in continuous flow. 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 late 1980s in order to benefit from new markets and 토토사이트 모음 sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and distributing other products of manufacturers to complement its own line of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.

In the 90s, Toto began to concentrate on research and development for water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and boost profits. The company adopted a just-in-time method of managing supply chains and used the same method in its sales strategy. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction.

Toto has been able to continue to innovate in the toilet technology. The latest toilet from the company features a powerful, environmentally-friendly tornado flush. The company uses recycled water for its manufacturing process, and also has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto produces bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than standard models.

The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It hosts exhibits on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are ceramics) and the history of plumbing, and products such as bath units. In a separate gallery you can view Toto products that are sold throughout. The museum even has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet as well as other toilet-related innovations.

Discography

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was an ode to the classic sextet structure, and an even more consistent and powerful album with a sharper edge.
