Since 1920
Kohler entered the power systems business in 1920 with the introduction of the Kohler Automatic Power & Light — the world’s first engine-powered electric generator. Since then, Kohler generators have powered Admiral Byrd’s Antarctic expeditions, lit the Hoover Dam construction site, and kept America’s airports and military running.
Today, Kohler is one of the world’s largest generating set manufacturers — trusted by hospitals, nuclear power plants, data centers, and homeowners alike. Because when the power goes out, Kohler keeps life moving.
