In 1984, Kohler began an acquisitions program to supplement the company's internal growth with new materials, products and markets. It also brought synergistic manufacturing facilities and direct access to new markets.

Based at Kohler Co.'s corporate headquarters in Kohler, Wisconsin, the Kitchen & Bath Group today encompasses an extensive family of businesses around the world that manufacture plumbing products, cabinetry and tile; not only under the Kohler brand.
