American Standard: Style that Works Better

American Standard Company History

American Standard is one of the leading North American manufacturers of bath and kitchen products. However, where many companies would be content with that title, American Standard continues to push the envelope in terms of innovation and unique product creation. This drive to be the best has propelled them into the forefront of the home improvement scene, and made American Standard a company other businesses set out to emulate.

American Standard was born out of Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company, a company created from the merger of other small plumbing manufacturers in the late 1800's. By 1929, Standard Sanitary had become the world's largest producer of bathroom fixtures and a well known name in kitchen fixtures. In 1967, the name American Standard was adopted and the plumbing manufacturer never looked back. American Standard has an unmatched legacy of quality and innovation lasting more then 130 years. It is this tradition that has built American Standard into a household name, and allows them to produce some of the best products currently on the market.
