Kohler is a name that immediately comes to mind for many folks when speaking of unsurpassed quality and value at reasonable prices. For more than 80 years, Kohler kitchen faucets and the brand of Kohler have been an industry institution.

Kohler’s business is literally ‘in-the-toilet,’ you could say. In reality, their business is not only in the toilet but also in top-quality lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, bathroom accessories, showerheads, and all kinds of sinks. The refined, premium quality products of Kohler are produced under a variety of names including Hytec, Sterling, and of course, Kohler. In addition, Kohler also manufactures furniture under such brand names as McGuire and Baker, as well as Ann Sacks for stone, ceramic and mosaic tile.

Sales are mostly driven by demand from construction, telecommunications, electrical distribution and hardware retailing for Kohler’s manufacturing of kitchen faucets, lavatory and sink faucets, among a host of other plumbing supplies.

Kohler’s ability in being profitable is largely attributed to their efficient use of inventory management and their ability and skill in merchandising. Small operators, according to Hoovers.com, are able to compete in Kohler’s space through their efforts in stocking specialty products, delivering top-level service or by ensuring they stock all the inventory required by their customers. A highly-automated industry, the avvnual average revenue per employee averages around $450,000.

Lesser known activities such as Kohler’s development of generators, small engines and power supplies ffor both consumer and industrial applications are part of Kohler’s product line development. Kohler also invests in real estate operations, including a Wisconsin resort called ‘Destination Kohler, and the ‘Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa located in Scotland.
