Kohler Co. was founded in 1873 and remains one of America's oldest and largest privately held companies. Our story is one of entrepreneurial spirit, passion, tenacity, determination, and a deep belief in this country and our organization to persevere and grow. Over the course of the last 143 years, Kohler has been built by the hard work of many associates and has survived 18 recessions, two depressions and the most recent global economic crisis. Kohler Co. today has never been in a stronger financial or strategic position.
We stay focused on controlling what we can control – practicing our mission of enhancing the level of gracious living for all those touched by our products and services, pursuing our guiding principles, reinvesting over 90 percent of our earnings back into the business every year, and trying to leave the world a better place than we found it.
Since 1920, our engines, generators and UPS products have powered homes, hospitals, lawn mowers, stadiums and everything in-between.
