The first products from famous household brand names

Not all household brands changed direction after their products failed. In fact, the looms that Toyota made in their early days were the most advanced ones available. So advanced, that in 2007 their original automatic loom was registered in Japan as ‘a landmark achievement’. Although this impressive machine formed the foundation of Toyota’s success, it was nearly a decade before they began the move into car manufacturing. And it was even longer before ‘Toyota Motors’ put their first car into production.
