History
Kohler was founded in 1873 by Austrian immigrant John Michael Kohler with the purchase of the Sheboygan Union Iron and Steel Foundry. Early products included cast iron and steel farm implements, castings for furniture factories, and ornamental iron pieces including cemetery crosses and settees. A breakthrough came for the company when, in 1883, John Michael applied enamel to a cast iron horse trough to create the company's first bathtub. From this point on, the company has been primarily in the plumbing business, and became well known for plumbing fixtures. In 1888 the then Kohler Water Works developed the original trademarked Bubbler. The idea took off and other companies developed similar products under the generic term "drinking fountain." The colloquial word Bubbler is still used in several regions of the United States. 1873 (MDCCCLXXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

In 1998, Kohler made a plan to buy back any outstanding shares not owned by the family. All family members had to exchange their common shares for share with limited rights, those that could not be sold. Since Kohler is not a publicly traded company, the amount of shares floating were minimal. Kohler offered $55,400 per share, but some shareholders challenged this valuation and sued.
The IRS also decided challenge this valuation by prosecuting the estate of Frederick Kohler who had recently died holding 975 shares. The value of 489, was due in tax. Kohler won the lawsuit against the IRS. [1]
