Kohler HistoryFour businesses on six continentsKohler Co. has been leading the way in style and innovationsince John Michael Kohler purchased an American cast ironand steel foundry in 1873.

What John Michael Kohler saw in 1883 when he looked at acast iron horse trough was the bathtub that launched a globalplumbing company.
