Kohler makes bathroom products under the names Ann Sacks (ceramic tile, marble, stone products); Kallista (bathroom fixtures and accessories); and Hytec, Kohler, and Sterling (plumbing products). European brands include Jacob Delafon and Neomediam plumbing products and Sanijura bath cabinetry and related products. Kohler also makes small engines, generators, electrical switchgear, and high-end furniture. In addition, the company owns The American Club resort, golf courses, and other real estate. Chairman Herbert Kohler, Jr. and his sister Ruth Kohler, grandchildren of the firm's founder, control most of the company.
