For nearly 140 years, American Standard has led the way in developing innovative bath and kitchen products that have set and re-set the standards for living healthy, living responsibly, and living beautifully.
Before American Standard, there was the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company that was founded in 1875, a product of a merger with several other small plumbing manufacturers. They pioneered many of the plumbing product improvements introduced in the early part of this century including the one-piece toilet, built-in tubs, combination faucets (which mix hot and cold water to deliver tempered water) and tarnish-proof, corrosion-proof chrome finishes for brass fittings. Not long after, it headed on to become the world’s largest producer of bathroom fixtures. It is a proud legacy that has made American Standard one of the most trusted brands in the industry.
