THE LAST WORD IN LAVATORIES?
Toto is a leading Japanese manufacturer of bathroom ceramic ware, with annual
worldwide sales of around $5 bn. One of its best-selling ranges is the Washlet
lavatory, priced at up to $5,000 and used in most Japanese homes. This has
features such as a heated seat, and can play a range of sounds. This type of toilet is
successful in its home market since many flats are small and crowded, and
bathrooms provide valued privacy. Now Toto hopes to increase its sales in Europe
and America, where it faces a variety of difficulties. European countries tend to have
their own rules about lavatory design, so that different models have to be made for
each market. Although Toto claims that its Washlet toilet uses less water than the
average model, one factor that may delay its penetration into Europe is its need for
an electrical socket for installation, as these are prohibited in bathrooms by most
European building regulations.
