Why SATO

Affordable, sustainable, and innovative solutions

We want to empower people everywhere to live a better life, every day, and to enjoy a brighter future. We do this by applying customer understanding to our design and engineering expertise to create solutions that solve the real problems that face emerging economies – from water scarcity affecting hand washing to unhygienic, unpleasant sanitation experiences.

Designed with careful attention to the specific needs of our consumers, we offer a range of aspirational, affordable, and award-winning products. This ranges from toilet pans and connection systems to unique portable taps for communities that lack access to running water.

An award-winning social business

We are proud that our product portfolio has been recognised through several prestigious, international awards. These include the Red Dot Design Award and Edison patent award, for the SATO Toilet systems range and the TIME Magazine Best Inventions for the SATO Tap. Recently we have been awarded two Fast Company Awards for “Brands That Matter” and “Most Innovative Company 2024”.
