Sanitary ware firm TOTO earned an operating profit of VND454 billion ($19.2 million) in Vietnam for fiscal year 2022 (April 2022-March 2023), up 38% year-on-year.

According to the Japanese business’s report, the firm recorded net sales of VND4.87 trillion ($205.9 million) in the period, up 12.3% year-on-year. The operating margin reached 9%, up two percentage points.

The 10-hectare plant in Thang Long Industrial Park can produce 600,000 hoses, valves, and accessories for restrooms and kitchens per year, and assemble 1.3 million products annually.

TOTO Vietnam has four other factories in Vietnam. The first and second were opened in Hanoi in 2004 and 2006, while the third and fourth made their debut in the northern province of Hung Yen in 2018 and July 2022.
