Kohler is most famous for its plumbing products, particularly toilets, faucets, bathtubs, and kitchen sinks, and for being one of the most recognized kitchen and bath brands in the world. The company became famous in 1883 when founder John Michael Kohler created the first enameled cast iron bathtub by applying enamel to a horse trough, an invention that launched modern bathroom design. Since then, Kohler has become famous for innovation in bathrooms. It introduced the first one-piece toilet, the first colored bathroom fixtures in the 1920s, and the first whirlpool bath. Today, Kohler is famous for products like the Cimarron and Santa Rosa toilets, Devonshire faucets, Whitehaven farmhouse sinks, and Archer bathtubs that are found in millions of homes. It is also famous for its bold design, using the tagline The Bold Look of Kohler and collaborating with designers and artists for its Artist Edition sinks. Beyond plumbing, Kohler is famous for its power division, making Kohler engines for lawn mowers and Kohler generators for whole-home backup power. It is also famous for its luxury hospitality and golf division, owning The American Club resort and Whistling Straits golf course in Wisconsin, which hosted the Ryder Cup. The Kohler family and Kohler village are famous for being one of the most prominent family-owned companies in America. So while most people know Kohler for toilets and faucets, it is a diverse company famous for design, power, and hospitality.
