Kohler continued to grow and expand, developing new technologies and adding new lines of fixtures and hardware for kitchens and baths. Throughout WorldWars i and ii, the company provided support foramerican forces at home and abroad, converting much of their production to the manufacture of military components, as well as plumbing and fixtures for war housing, industries, and hospitals. at the end of WorldWar ii, Kohler became the first company to offer a line of fixtures for small homes, perfect for servicemen returning stateside and searching for housing. in 1964 Kohler debuted self-rimming vitreous china sinks, eliminating the need for a metal frame on the countertop. The following year, they introduced more vibrant “accent” colors, and in 1967 they debuted the slogan, “The Bold Look of Kohler,” which has become its signature statement. in 1969 Kohler joined the space age, manufacturing parts and precision controls, and produced the first fiberglass reinforced plastic bath and shower combinations.
