TOTO LTD.

Company Overview

TOTO manufactures ceramic fixtures for bathrooms and kitchens. In 2012 the company expanded into high-technology areas for glass coatings, new materials for metal corrosion protection, and precision ceramic products for the electronics and SOFC industry. TOTO has been working toward SOFC technology for high-efficiency, eco-friendly power generation. In 1990, it began doing the basic research, which led to an inexpensive cell production method with our original wet processing technique using ceramic ware production technology. The company subsequently undertook R&D of stack modules, and has been working to launch stack module products for residential SOFC systems. Going forward, it will verify operating performance, durability and energy conservation under field trials in family homes, feed the acquired data and knowledge back to system development and continue development with the goal of achieving practical products at an early date.
