Kohler Co. Tech Stack
Global kitchen, bath, and hospitality manufacturer with 150+ year legacy
Kohler is a privately held manufacturing conglomerate with 30,000+ employees across kitchen & bath, hospitality, golf, and interiors. The tech stack reflects a traditional industrial manufacturer modernizing at scale: heavy PLM (Windchill), CAD (Creo, AutoCAD, Mastercam), manufacturing controls (Allen-Bradley, Fanuc PLC), and ERP (SAP, Workday). Current adoption of LIMS and SAP PM suggests tightening quality and asset management — consistent with stated pain points around production efficiency, product quality, and cycle-time reduction. Hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing (largest cohort), engineering, and sales, with notable investment in L&D and the Kohler Operating System, indicating a push toward operational standardization across global sites.
