TOTO showcases its WASHLET automatic toilet seat manufacturing plant and launches the latest model produced in Thailand to Japanese standards.

TOTO has invested over 1.073 billion baht in a construction area of approximately 49,000 square meters, capable of producing 450,000 units per year, while unveiling the latest WASHLET automatic toilet seat model manufactured in Thailand to Japanese standards.

Mr. Takayasu Shimada, President of TOTO (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of modern sanitary ware that perfectly integrates design and technology under the "TOTO" brand, revealed that TOTO has been a leader in sanitary ware innovation and technology for over 100 years, with continuous sales growth. To date, over 50 million WASHLET automatic toilet seats have been sold worldwide, reinforcing TOTO's success in innovative product sales.

 


With the company's vision focused on creating a perfect and comfortable lifestyle for people worldwide through the use of WASHLET automatic toilet seats, the company sees potential and opportunities as Thailand serves as a strategic hub for global product distribution. Thus, it opened a WASHLET automatic toilet seat manufacturing plant in Nong Khae District, Saraburi Province, with an investment of over 1.073 billion baht on a construction area of 49,000 square meters, located in the same industrial estate as TOTO (Thailand) Co., Ltd.'s first and second sanitary ware manufacturing plants. Construction began in May 2018, and production commenced in July 2019, with an estimated production capacity of approximately 450,000 units per year.

The TOTO Group's WASHLET manufacturing plants include two in Japan and one overseas, with the WASHLET factory established in Thailand being the fifth after Japan, Malaysia, and China.

The factory not only enhances production capacity by utilizing the latest machinery but also employs high-quality tools to facilitate production, such as installing air conditioning in the WASHLET assembly area and implementing automatic testing machines for WASHLET functionality, reducing errors from manual inspections. We conduct 100% quality checks on all products produced in every process to ensure that every piece from TOTO meets high-quality standards.

In addition to offering products filled with quality and advanced technology, the company has also revealed its significant goal to revolutionize bathroom usage. A good bathroom is not just about comfortable sanitary ware or beautiful design; it also includes technology integrated into every process, such as the powerful TORNADO FLUSH system that can thoroughly clean waste using minimal water without splashing outside the toilet bowl, which is a cause of bacteria accumulation and unpleasant odors. This flushing system works in conjunction with rimless toilets that have no hidden corners, making them easy to clean, along with the CEFIONTECT coating on the ceramic surface before firing, ensuring durability, smooth surfaces that reduce dirt adhesion, and EWATER+, pure water that helps reduce bacteria for cleaning the spray wand and toilet bowl without chemicals. All of these represent meticulously crafted cleaning technologies, paying attention to every detail to elevate the bathroom experience beyond just a place for waste disposal, but to genuinely enhance quality of life.

Mr. Hiroki Fujimura, Factory Manager and WASHLET Product Expert at TOTO (Thailand), shared with the media that the WASHLET automatic toilet seat is a product that the company has invented and developed for over 40 years, becoming the number one sanitary ware leader in Japan, demonstrating the trust in the company's products.

He also introduced the latest WASHLET automatic toilet seat model produced at the WASHLET manufacturing plant in Thailand, with strict control and inspection of every production process to Japanese standards.

The TCF6041TH WASHLET automatic toilet seat model comes with four toilet models: CST767UW1, CST920UW1, CST230UW1, CST340UW1, developed from user needs with attention to every detail, meeting all aspects of cleanliness, hygiene, design, convenience, comfort, and environmental preservation, which is a significant policy for TOTO.

The TCF6041TH WASHLET automatic toilet seat comes equipped with comprehensive basic technologies and functionalities, including the TORNADO FLUSH system, rimless toilet design, CEFIONTECT coating, built-in cleaning spray wand, unpleasant odor elimination system, temperature control for the seat to keep it warm during use, and various cleaning modes, all easily controlled via a side control panel to provide users with maximum comfort and satisfaction.

With the aim of delivering the convenience of using WASHLET automatic toilet seats to the Thai people and raising awareness of the importance of good and hygienic bathroom usage, TOTO believes that ensuring customers have a perfect and comfortable living experience is part of the company's social responsibility, a commitment upheld by all TOTO employees for over 100 years.
