Bathroom Standards. Redefi ned.Perfecting Bathroom Experiences since 1872
21 American Standard | Our LegacyAmerican Standard | Our Legacy1
The roots of American Standard’s innovation legacy can be
traced back to a tiny tinware shop in Ware, Massachusetts,
where John B. Pierce, an optimistic entrepreneur, purchased a
tinware shop for $2,800 in 1872. With determination, a fresh
coat of paint and an unwavering vision for the future, Pierce
forged the beginning of a proud legacy that has made American
Standard one of the most enduring and trusted brands in the
industry. Since its humble beginnings, American Standard has
led a pivotal role in redefi ning today’s bathrooms by pioneering
innovations - making modern bathrooms accessible to all.
JOHN PIERCEFOUNDER
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 improvements
including enamelled bathtubs, toilets, sinks, electric dishwashers, even adding colour to bathroom
fi xtures. 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 fl air of American Radiator and innovative spirit
of Standard Sanitary laid the foundation for what American Standard stands for today.

The Growth Of The Modern Bathroom
Alongside Standard Manufacturing, two companies
producing enamelled sanitary products were growing
steadily. The fi rst 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 fi rst 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 expanded
its product offerings, and ventured into new markets and technologies.
Innovations included the now ubiquitous “push and pull” tapware, slip-resistant
baths, 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 fi rst appearance in bathroom
fi xtures from Standard Sanitary. Suddenly style entered the bathroom with a
new 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.

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.
Clean Is The New Green
Innovation is our top priority at American Standard. Our latest
introductions bring new levels of style and performance to our
customers and continue to raise the standard of comfortable,
beautiful, healthy and convenient living.

Creation of American Standard Brands
American Standard Companies, Inc., the parent company of American
Standard announces break up. In 2007, Bain Capital purchased the
American Standard Global Bath and Kitchen business while Sun Capital
bought American Standard Americas, which led to the creation of American
Standard Brands that included the integration of Elijer, Crane Plumbing and
Fiat, all Sun Capital companies.
