LIXIL wins Circularity Award at Reuters Global Sustainability Awards 2026. LIXIL Corporation (LIXIL), maker of pioneering water and housing products, announced that it has won the Circularity Award at the Reuters Global Sustainability Awards 2026[1]. The award recognizes LIXIL's leadership in advancing the circular economy to integrate recycled material at scale. LIXIL was highly acclaimed for its pioneering technologies that advanced the circular economy. The company created "PremiAL," a recycled low-carbon aluminum[2] with third-party verified by SuMPO (Sustainable Management Promotion Organization), and "revia," a material created from traditionally hard-to-recycle waste plastics and waste wood. PremiAL R100, made from 100% recycled aluminum, reduces CO[2] emissions by approximately 80% during the manufacturing process compared to products made solely from virgin ingots, thus significantly reducing embodied carbon in buildings. Meanwhile, revia advances resource circulation by diverting plastic waste from incineration and landfill, leveraging LIXIL's technology and a localized recycling ecosystem built together with municipalities. "We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Reuters," said Satoshi Yoshida, Executive Officer of LIXIL Housing Technology (LHT). "This achievement reflects our commitment to making circular materials the standard for the industry. To accelerate the broader international expansion of our housing technology business, we have established LHT Global as a dedicated overarching organization. Central to this global growth is our focus on driving innovation for impact - scaling recycled materials, such as PremiAL and revia, beyond Japan into Asia and other regions worldwide, driving innovation for a circular society by reducing our dependency on virgin resources."

LIXIL expands Housing Technology business in India with new manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. 13 Oct, 2026, 09:00 IST Driven by the newly formed "LHT Global" organization, this strategic expansion accelerates international growth to meet surging demand. GURUGRAM, India, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - LIXIL Corporation ("LIXIL"), maker of pioneering water and housing products, today announced a major expansion of its manufacturing footprint with a new window manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, India. Spanning 500,000 square feet and slated to commence operations in 2028, the new plant will substantially boost LIXIL's local production capabilities in the country - aligning with the Indian government's "Make in India" initiative while establishing a highly responsive, localized supply chain under its LIXIL Housing Technology (LHT) India business. The new facility will be complemented by LHT's existing window manufacturing plant in IMT Manesar, Haryana, to meet rising domestic demand for pre-engineered aluminum window systems and sliding door profiles marketed under the TOSTEM brand and affirming India as a key strategic growth hub for the region. The expansion is projected to increase the TOSTEM brand's local production ratio in the country from 30% to over 60%, significantly increasing local production capability, responsiveness, and service to customers across Northern and Southern India. A significant challenge for Indian builders and homeowners is to secure consistent, high-quality aluminum window frames for their property projects - from large projects to individual homes. LHT's expanding production and operating footprint aims to meet this demand with its proprietary TOSTEM "Windows in the Box" solution. This solution ships precision-engineered, ready-to-assemble window kits directly to site with consistent global quality and manufacturing, where 80% of quality-critical processes are managed in-house. This innovation eliminates the quality headache for builders and homeowners who source and coordinate multiple local fabricators. This will be supported by a concurrent retail expansion spanning about 160 partner companies, over 150 showroom locations across 130 cities. Commenting on the investment, Hardeep Singh, Managing Director, TOSTEM India, said: "India's rapid development and urbanization must be matched with high quality buildings and homes. We are confident that our new Hyderabad facility will deliver TOSTEM global quality that is proudly "Made In India" for premium, pre-engineered aluminum windows and doors. Together with our Haryana facility, we look forward to serving our Indian distributors, business partners, and homeowners, with "Windows in the Box" and other quality solutions and services." Ichiro Murakoshi, Asia Pacific Head of TOSTEM, added: "Our latest investment establishes India as a strategic growth hub for the LIXIL Housing Technology business under the newly formed "LHT Global" organization. We are combining advanced global technology and products with localized operational strength, to more completely serve our customers in the country and in the Asia-Pacific region. Together with industry partners, we look forward to fulfilling the LIXIL purpose to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere."
