Overview

Kohler's profits are going down the drain, literally. The company makes bathroom and kitchen products -- from toilets and baths to showers and sinks -- under the names Kohler, Hytec, and Sterling. It also makes furniture under the names Baker and McGuire, as well as ceramic, stone, and mosaic tile under the brand Ann Sacks. Lesser-known operations include Kohler's manufacturing of small engines, generators, and power supplies for both consumer and industrial applications. Kohler's real estate operations include Destination Kohler, a resort in Wisconsin, and Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa in Scotland. Chairman Herbert Kohler Jr. and his sister Ruth Kohler, grandchildren of the founder, control Kohler.
