Kohler fits out bathrooms and kitchens with fixtures that are both elegant and luxurious –turning them into the rooms of our dreams.

Known as a world leader in kitchen and bathroom fixtures, Kohler Co. started small back in 1873, when John Michael Kohler purchased the Sheboygan Union Iron and Steel Foundry and started producing cast iron and steel tools for farmers.

Over the years, Kohler Co. has become hugely successful in international markets and has an exemplary reputation to prove it. With unrivalled innovative designs, skilful craftsmanship and advanced technology, the company is justly acknowledged as a market leader in sanitaryware and one of the leading kitchen and bathroom brands.

The company is currently engaged in four main business groups: kitchens and bathrooms; interiors; power systems; hospitality; and real estate. Manufactured in 44 factories worldwide, Kohler Co.’s high-quality products serve a range of prestigious customers in the U.S.A., many countries in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Kitchens and bathrooms
Kohler’s core business, the company’s kitchen and bathroom lines, includes: faucets, bathtubs, toilets, sinks and kitchen products. Such products are distributed not only under the KOHLER trademark, but also such brand names as Sterling, Kallista, Robern and Canac in North America; Mira, Jacob Delafon and Sanijura in Europe; and Englefield in Australia and Asia.

Kohler in Thailand
Taking advantage of the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) and increasing potential in the sector, Kohler started its Thailand operation in 2002 by purchasing 100 per cent of the shares of Karat Sanitaryware Public Company Limited, a well established sanitaryware manufacturer. The company’s name was duly changed to Kohler (Thailand) Public Company Limited.

With 3,000 employees in the new entity, Kohler (Thailand) Public Company Limited markets its products separately under two brands: Kohler and Karat. The Kohler brand is targeted at the high-end market, while the Karat label is geared towards the medium to low-end sector.

Kohler (Thailand) Public Company Limited currently boasts six production plants, located in Saraburi Province, on an area of approximately 800,000 square metres. The plants have a total production capacity of 54,000 tonnes per year, making the company the largest sanitaryware manufacturer in Asia. To optimise capacity and increase productivity, the company is already in the process of planning its seventh plant. Expected to double the company’s production capacity, the expansion reflects the company’s commitment to provide high-quality sanitaryware to customers all over the globe.

To create greater confidence and satisfaction among its customers, Kohler (Thailand) Public Company Limited also provides effective after-sales services. The company’s after-sales service team comprises engineers who are experts in installing and maintaining sanitaryware.
