Origins
The early history of Toto that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth. In the first half,
토지노 사이트 Toto made goods to meet the demand for modern, brand new urban housing. It used the first tunnel kiln in the country to continuously produce ceramics. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.
In the late 1980s the company began expanding outwards to profit from sales and new markets. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and market other products from other manufacturers in order to enhance its own line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.
In the 1990s Toto began to focus on research and development for water-related appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve its customers and boost profits. The company adopted a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain and applied the same methodology in its sales strategy. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction.

Discography

Line-up
The band's third album,
토토사이트 꽁머니 Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums and was a more powerful, constant effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more edgy sound of the album reflected the maturation of the group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's greater ability on the drums and a more mature, confident vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard skills were as well more refined, more precise and less akin to earlier efforts.
After touring to promote their album, the band recorded an Amsterdam live performance that was released by Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group went on an extensive world tour in support of it. In this time, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.
In 1998, Paich & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to find songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. It was completed in the form of a double-album called Then and Now in 2001. It was the first album in the band's history that did not include a single song with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".
By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that restricted his singing capabilities. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville, while drummer Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.
Downes along with the other original members of Asia - Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the group. The group, which was missing Howe who was occupied with Yes during that period, was later renamed Toto XIV. They toured extensively.
In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band featured an appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
