Toto, Japan's leading toilet maker, has suspended orders for pre-fabricated bathrooms. Supply chain disruptions linked to the Iran war are impacting the availability of essential adhesives.

Japan's Toto has halted pre-fabricated bathroom orders due to supply chain disruptions. The issue stems from a shortage of naphtha-based solvents, crucial for coatings and film adhesion in bathroom construction. This shortage is reportedly linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

While this doesn't directly impact existing bathrooms in hotels or homes, it could lead to delays in new construction or renovations. Travelers planning extended stays in newly built accommodations might experience slight delays.

For most tourists, this disruption will be invisible. However, those involved in real estate or long-term stays should be aware of potential construction slowdowns.
