MORROW, GA.—TOTO announced that it has shipped its high-performance bathroom fixtures to assist more than 2,000 families in Moore, Shawnee and El Reno, Okla., with their long-term rebuilding process.
“Our hearts go out to the victims of May’s devastating tornados,” said Bill Strang, president of Operations for the Americas, TOTO USA. “We wanted to aid our friends and neighbors in Oklahoma with their long-term recovery process, so we are sending three 40-foot container trucks laden with our beautiful designs that offer superior performance—toilets, faucets, showers, and accessories—to help families in these communities rebuild their homes.”
TOTO is assisted in this humanitarian project by its partners WinWholesale, Inc., Oklahoma City Winnelson, RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, and the Oklahoma Disaster Recovery Project.
A Collaborative Effort
“We’re grateful to our partners on this philanthropic project,” said Jason Fitzsimmons, Vice President of Sales, U.S. Sales Division, TOTO USA. “WinWholesale and Oklahoma City Winnelson are providing much needed long-term storage for the three containers that house our products. RoadOne IntermodaLogistics is providing the logistics support for the 900-mile journey from our facilities in Fairburn, Ga., to Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma Disaster Recovery Project is working with families in the local communities to help them get back on their feet by minimizing gaps in the relief and recovery system.”
“WinWholesale and Oklahoma City Winnelson are very pleased to partner with TOTO in providing in-kind bathroom fixture donations to the victims of the horrific tornado that struck central Oklahoma last May,” said Jack Johnston, President, WinWholesale Inc. “Oklahoma City Winnelson has been part of the community for more than 30 years.
