November 15, 2025

On October 23, 2025, TOTO officially held the opening ceremony of TOTO (Liaoning) Co., Ltd. in Dalian. The event brought together senior executives from the TOTO Group, local government officials, strategic partners, and all employees of the new factory.

A new starting point, a new step forward for Cuong Lam

A new step in TOTO's 100-year journey

Since its establishment in 1917, TOTO has always remained committed to its philosophy:
“Good and consistent products – Sincerity and integrity – Cooperation and development.”

After more than 40 years of operating in mainland China, TOTO has worked alongside the government, partners, and local workforce to build a sustainable brand. The establishment of TOTO (Liaoning) Co., Ltd. is the next step toward meeting growing market demand and comprehensively enhancing production capacity.

A modern factory – laying the foundation in Dalian

Mr. Shinya Tamura, Representative Managing Director and CEO of the TOTO Group, shared the reasons for choosing Dalian:
This region boasts a developed industrial base, convenient transportation, and a complete logistics system – ideal factors for a large-scale production hub.

Established: 2021
Area: 230,000 m²
Production start: expected in May 2025
Design capacity: approximately 700,000 sanitary ceramic products/year

The factory will focus on producing sanitary ceramic products for the Chinese market, helping to shorten the time to market for new products and increase supply capacity.

Automation – Green Technology – Reduced CO₂ Emissions

The Liaoning factory was built to TOTO's leading green and modern standards:

Fully automated product transfer between production stages.
Robots deployed across multiple production steps.
Equipped with advanced environmental treatment systems: desulfurization, denitrification, water recycling, and solar power.
Notably, this is TOTO's first overseas factory to use a roller kiln, reaching 1,200°C for 21 hours with optimal heat retention, helping to save fuel and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.

As a result, the factory enhances production efficiency while reducing its environmental impact – aligning with the sustainable development direction of TOTO.

A major milestone in the Dalian Jinpu New District

As one of TOTO's largest production facilities worldwide, TOTO (Liaoning) Co., Ltd. will:

Promote industrial development in the Dalian Jinpu New District
Enhance R&D and product innovation capabilities
Upgrade the supply chain
Contribute to local socio-economic development

Following the opening ceremony, TOTO also held a ceremony for the first product to roll off the production line – marking a major milestone in the factory's development journey.

Mr. Masayuki Ino, Managing Director of TOTO (Liaoning), stated that the company will continue to work with the local community and strive to bring practical value to society.
