Bathroom Standards. Redefined.Perfecting Bathroom Experiences since 1872

21 American Standard | Our LegacyAmerican Standard | Our Legacy1

The roots of American Standard’s innovation legacy can betraced back to a tiny tinware shop in Ware, Massachusetts,where John B. Pierce, an optimistic entrepreneur, purchased atinware shop for $2,800 in 1872. With determination, a freshcoat of paint and an unwavering vision for the future, Pierceforged the beginning of a proud legacy that has made AmericanStandard one of the most enduring and trusted brands in theindustry. Since its humble beginnings, American Standard hasled a pivotal role in redefining today’s bathrooms by pioneeringinnovations - making modern bathrooms accessible to all.

RAISING THE STANDARD

ONE VISION, ONE LEGACY

For over 140 years, American Standard has continually raised the standard of living healthily, responsibly and beautifully around the world. We continue to drive our promise to consumers worldwide by delivering inviting products that last, with superior performances that are dependable, and ensuring each innovation is purposeful and sustainable.

American Standard was formed after an amalgamation of two industry leaders in their own rights – American Radiator and Standard Sanitary.

Since its inception in 1875, Standard Sanitary has pioneered many plumbing product improvementsincluding enamelled bathtubs, toilets, sinks, electric dishwashers, even adding colour to bathroom fixtures. By the 1930s, Standard Sanitary was leading the sanitation and plumbing industry.

American Radiator, on the other hand, dominated the heating equipment market and was the largest supplier of heating equipment in the world.

In late 1929, the combination of both the entrepreneurial flair of American Radiator and innovative spirit of Standard Sanitary laid the foundation for what American Standard stands for today.

’sThe Growth Of The Modern Bathroom

Alongside Standard Manufacturing, two companies producing enamelled sanitary products were growing steadily. The first was Dawes & Myler Manufacturing which was founded by ex-Standard Manufacturing staff, Edward L. Dawes and William A. Myler. The other was Ahrens & Ott Manufacturing, set up by Theodore Ahrens and Henry L. Ott. In 1899, all three companies merged to form Standard Sanitary that led the expansion of the bathroom market and made modern bathrooms accessible to all.

Turbulent Times

By 1971, American Standard sales reached $1.4 billion with 70,000 employees. Despite a turbulent economy that led to a decade of controlled growth and expansion, the company grew worldwide. By 1979, it was operating in more than 20 countries and claimed the title as the world’s largest plumbing manufacturer.

Fresh Ideas For A New Generation

In 2013, American Standard joined the LIXIL Group of Japan, one of the world’s leading building products companies. With annual revenues exceeding $16 billion, LIXIL is a family of brands with leading market position in windows, doors, exterior curtain walls, and, of course, kitchen and bathroom products.

Mega Merger Forms One-Stop Shop

While Standard Sanitary dominated the sanitation and plumbing industry, American Radiator, led by Charles Woolley, was the world’s largest supplier of heating equipment. In late 1929, both companies merged to form American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation; creating a single source for craftsmen and driving greater demand for heating and plumbing products.

Cornering The Market

By 1900, Standard Sanitary had become the world’s largest supplier of plumbing goods; producing more than 150 baths per day. American bathrooms were modernising with the country devoting resources to public sewage and, bathrooms began moving indoors rapidly.

The Go-Go Days

By the Eighties, sales reached a record high of $2.7 billion and innovation continued to drive market leadership. The company introduced Americast® in 1987, a game-changing material that was lighter than cast-iron and more durable than enamelled steel; and the Sensorium, the first bath with electronics that controlled in-home appliances.

Supporting The War Effort

By 1943, American Radiator & Standard Sanitary virtually halted all peacetime production to supply the armed forces with critical parts and munitions including the mould and castings for the B-29 Superfortress bomber. By war’s end, the company had produced more than 2.5 million hand grenades and 75 million cast-iron nose pieces for bombs. A shortage of labour and materials in the post-war years forced the company to put products on allocation as demand far outpaced available production.

DEFINING MOMENTS,REWRITING HISTORIES

The Sanitary Advantage

In 1883, Standard Manufacturing perfected a process to coat pulverised enamel onto hot castings to form a smooth, white surface that was easy-to-clean and impervious to water-preventing corrosion and bacteria from forming and multiplying on the sides of metal baths.

New Products For A Modern World

The Sixties was a growth era for American Standard. The company expandedits product offerings, and ventured into new markets and technologies.Innovations included the now ubiquitous “push and pull” tapware, slip-resistantbaths, odour-removing Vent-Away toilet systems and remote control drain pop-ups. In 1968, a technological breakthrough in ceramic disc valves was added to American Standard tapware – promising leak-free operation for life.

The Bathroom Comes of Age

White had been the colour of choice in American bathrooms: it was clean,bright and sanitary. But in 1926, colour made its first appearance in bathroomfixtures from Standard Sanitary. Suddenly style entered the bathroom with anew attitude that made it an integral part of home décor.

Rise of Public Health

The advancement of sanitation has been important in the history of public health. In 1875, James Arnott and Francis J. Torrance from Ireland founded Standard Manufacturing to make cast-iron water closets, washstands and bathtubs for the growing sanitation and indoor bathroom market.

Clarence Mott Woolley, forms American Radiator Company in 1892.

John Pierce purchases tinwork shop in Massachusetts in 1872. Forms Standard Sanitary in 1899.

John C.Reed developed a process he patented to enamel baths quickly and helped Standard Sanitary rise as the nation’s plumbing leader.

American Radiator & Standard Sanitary advertised hope during wartime production.

Expanding The Product Line

In 1913, American Sanitary purchased the Great Western Pottery Company and began producing enamelled porcelain products. The company began selling a complete line of cast-iron enamelled kitchen sinks in 1917 after a successful launch at the Pittsburgh Annual Exposition.

Peacetime Boom

The housing industry recovered quickly after WWII as affordable housing was required for millions of returning war veterans. The new suburbia was born, and with it the expansion of plumbing products. In 1951, American Standard had moved into the kitchen; introducing steel sinks, steel walls, base and specialty cabinets, automatic dishwashers and electric food waste disposers. We Want You To Love Your Bathroom

Americans turned their attention to creating stylised living spaces that offered a sense of comfort, retreat and relaxation. American Standard joined the renaissance by acquiring Porcher, a French-based luxury brand and JADO, a German-based tapware brand. In addition, new suites and product lines were added to attract style-minded consumers.

In 2007, Bain Capital purchased theAmerican Standard Global Bath and Kitchen business while Sun Capitalbought American Standard Americas, which led to the creation of AmericanStandard Brands that included the integration of Elijer, Crane Plumbing andFiat, all Sun Capital companies.
