For almost 150 years, global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology, Kohler has been providing people with the comfort and quality of luxury. Kohler is a manufacturer of many things, mostly plumbing products, but also furniture, cabinetry, tile, engines, and generators.

The Kohler story is all about lifting one another towards a more gracious life. Founded in 1873 with a simple goal in mind: to provide everyone with the basic human essentials, Kohler has not only continued to provide such luxuries for humans all across the world, but has consistently provided consumers with the finest products in the market.

Innovation and industry enabling sustainability

In becoming a world brand, Kohler has been able to partner with organizations such as the Gates Foundation and Manchester United to reach sustainable development goals such as zero hunger, quality education, clean water and sanitation for all, reduced inequalities, gender equality, climate action and so much more.

Kohler plants over 90,000 trees every year to aid in reforestation. Instead of waste, Kohler sees possibility.

One of the world's most precious natural resources, water is essential to life and must be conserved. That's why Kohler is a strong supporter and advocate of driving awareness of water issues, addressing environmental challenges and developing environmentally favorable initiatives.

Kohler products with the WaterSense label indicate one thing to the consumer: that in their purchase, they have joined Kohler's mission to consume only what's necessary without sacrificing comfort, design or performance. It's a decision that offers water savings -- and cost savings -- and it's a decision that Kohler has aided in helping conserve this precious and limited resource.

Kohler's global team of engineers works tirelessly to develop technologies that improve water-use efficiency. And with each new innovation, they prove that good design doesn't have to be a decision between saving water and performance. With Kohler, you get both.
