A Commitment to Veterans and Active Service Members
Many Kohler Co. associates entered active military service, including those who served abroad during times of conflict. Throughout history, Kohler Co. has found various ways to honor, support, and commemorate these brave men and women.
Veterans continue to live a life of service at Kohler. With a focus on fostering a veteran-friendly workplace, Kohler’s associate-led veterans business resource group, called the Kohler Alliance of Veterans & Supporters (KAVS), is making a meaningful difference inside Kohler and within our communities.
