Kohler’s 140 years of development reflected at Hanoi Design Centre

This remarkable event coincides with the 140th anniversary of Kohler Co, marking Kohler’s establishment and ongoing development to offer consumers the world-class experience with products of leading technology and creative designs.

Housing approximately 2,000 products, the new design center showcases Kohler’s thoughtful design and innovative technology. Many of the products were only recently introduced at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in April 2013 in the US.

The design centre is destined to be a place that provides inspiration and ideas for architects, project developers, and customers, and contributes to unique works. In addition to the product floor itself there is also a well-equipped lounge with Internet access on the second floor for individuals or personnel from architecture companies to meet, communicate, and discuss about their area of expertise.

From its humble beginnings in 1873 to becoming one of the oldest and largest privately held companies in the US, Kohler has become synonymous with quality and originality.

After four generations, Kohler remains a family-owned company, with over 26,000 products and 13,000 patents to its name, and still leading the industry in innovation and design. Kohler today includes a series of brands in four distinct businesses: Kitchen and Bath, Global Power, Interiors, and Hospitality and Real Estate.

Kohler has earned a place in the hearts of consumers around the world with its elegant and innovative design. This expertise has also captured the imagination of Vietnamese consumers.

Kohler has expanded its business throughout the country with a Kohler design centre in Ho Chi Minh City and four large showrooms nationwide. The grand opening of the Hanoi design center highlights Kohler’s focus upon Vietnam’s immense potential as a market.
