1949

Mr Kazuharu Nakamura founds his company TOYOTOMI KOGYO CO., LTD., where he starts to press steel body parts for TOYOTA, enabled by iconic and former President of TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION Mr Taizo Ishida.

The name TOYOTOMI is derived from the words TOYOTA and TOMI, which means “Loyal to Toyota” in Japanese and which underlines the gratitude from Mr Nakamura towards TOYOTA, how they supported him in the early years to start his own company.

At the same time TOYOTOMI refers to the famous general Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598), coincidentally Mr Nakamura was born in the same town and on the same day, as this illustrious person in Japanese history.

During this period several plants were completed in Japan, each JIS approved for manufacturing different type of kerosene heating appliances, like wick-fed, gravity-fed, or pot-type heaters),

TOYOTOMI continued to develop more reliable, more efficient and safer products, resulting in the launch of the world’s first Double Clean heater, which was a new concept burner chimney forcing the exhaust gases to be burned once again in an upper combustion chamber.

This invention resulted in TOYOTOMI to become the first Japanese manufacturer to receive the Consumer Product Development Award from the U.S. national safety council.
