Introduction

According to the encyclopedia, the term “time” is defined as “the interval between different points of time.”

Benjamin Franklin said “If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.” Through that immortal saying, he emphasized the fact that our life is composed of time, and thus that time is invaluable.

We at Taotime define time as a second.

That is, Taotime would like to provide you with the best products and services so as to make every one of your seconds the happiest and the healthiest moments.

Taotime would like to be your lifetime companion.

Life is subdivided into several periods from infancy to old age.

Beginning with the infant age of service, Taotime has launched “Appletree”, an infant educational toy brand, and introduced “the Newturn Block” for infants as its first “Appletree” product on the market in April 2008.

In addition, we are preparing several new products which will include “Rayslun” and “Rayone”, a series of products for leisure time as well as amusement from babyhood to old age.

Under the slogan of “For Your Time!," Taotime will grow to an enterprise that can guide you on your way to many happy, healthy, and valuable times sharing pleasure with you.

We will continuously endeavor to become an enterprise that can truly realize cause-related marketing by sharing happiness with you.

Taotime will become “a guide for your happy time.”
