Check the authenticity as follows:
1. First check whether the trademark has the "TOTO" trademark. There are no additional letters.
2. Look at the glaze of the product. TOTO's glazes are all imported and have a very white shine.
3. Go to a regular dealer designated by TOTO to make an initial purchase.
4. Look at the toilet. The color should be very close to the color of the toilet ceramic, and the texture should be very solid, and it will fall slowly when put down.
5. Reach into the drain hole with your hand. Feel the glaze inside the drain outlet to see if it is smooth. If it's rough, it's fake, if it's as smooth as the outside, it's real.
6. Each toilet has a number.
Extended information
In 1917, the TOTO company was founded as Toyo Pottery Co., Ltd., and later changed its name to TOTO (Toto Machinery Co., Ltd.).
In 1912, a laboratory was established specifically to develop sanitary ceramics (at that time, sanitary ceramic products were already very common in Europe and the United States, but wooden toilets were still popular in Japan.
Compared with today’s advanced sanitary ware culture in Japan, the contrast is too great) With the widespread sales of these sanitary ceramic products, TOTO challenges the traditional hygiene concepts that have been accepted by the public. To this day, TOTO still continues to work hard for this.
In 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake brought devastating damage to Tokyo. During post-disaster reconstruction, the large-scale construction of drainage systems has led to a sharp increase in the demand for sanitary ware.
In 1946, after World War II, TOTO began to produce metal accessories, faucets and ceramics. Since then, the development of TOTO's two core businesses, the firing and casting of sanitary pottery, has driven innovation in the field of precision processing technology and developed vigorously.
In 1964, after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Japan created an economic miracle. With the construction boom generated by the Olympic economy, TOTO once again leads the trend of bathroom technology development.
Vigorously develop manufacturing technologies that can meet mass production while saving construction time and energy consumption. In accordance with Olympic standards, TOTO provided prefabricated bathroom services for 1,044 rooms of the New Otani Hotel in Tokyo, showing the perfect combination of technology and design.
In 1977, P.T. Surya TOTO Indonesia, the first overseas TOTO joint venture subsidiary, was established.
In 1980, TOTO launched WASHLET products, bringing customers a new clean and comfortable bathroom experience.
After developing the WASHLET product in 1981, TOTO began to invest its advanced technology in other product areas by introducing high-end standard kitchen supplies.
In 1990, TOTO began trading in the United States and expanded to Indonesia, South Korea, North Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In 1994, TOTO promoted its business to mainland China.
In 1993, the NEOREST series of toilets launched fully embodies the concept of clean technology, and combines the full range of innovative products from WASHLET and TOTO to create a bathroom space with the highest aesthetic standards and performance quality.
In 1998, TOTO launched HiJet, a patented photocatalyst technology. The material is self-cleaning and removes pollutants from the air. It's easy to clean, eliminates odors and prevents bacterial growth, making it a product suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
In 2006, the TOTO Universal Design Research Center was established to create new products through dialogue and feedback with customers.
In 2009, TOTO officially landed in Europe through the Frankfurt International Bathroom Show from March 10th to 14th.
In 2010, TOTO advocated a global green, environmentally friendly and low-carbon life.
