Kohler Excellence
Kohler has continuously dedicated 75 Years to unrivaled Excellence and Reliability building the world's finest generators. KOHLER is still owned and operated by the same proud KOHLER family since its inception in 1889.

“The best family firms are those whose owners are committed to generational perspectives,” says Herbert V. Kohler, Jr. “They don’t think in terms of exit strategies or maximizing financial returns over the next three months. They seek maximization of inherent value defined not by the market, but by the family.

“Being an independent, privately held enterprise has had tremendous impact on what this company has accomplished. We’ve had great leeway to think and act long term.”

KOHLER is American Made - in Kohler, Wisconsin.
KOHLER makes it own engines, and also uses GM engines.
KOHLER generators can reliably handle Higher Surge Loads than other generators in their class. The reason is heavier duty, superior quality components with significantly higher ratings. Of course, you expect to pay more.

Example:  The new KOHLER 12 kW Generator is the only generator in its class powerful enough to start and run a typical 4-ton (48,000 BTU) central air conditioner in the event of a power outage. Until now, a 17 kW or larger generator was required to run central air along with all other major appliances. This is typical of all KOHLER generators.

KOHLER uses 'AMP' electrical components; the highest quality in the world, UL2000 rated. The same components used in critical Avionics, which are also rated military specification - MilSpec. KOHLER is relied on for Critical Power Management for leading U.S. Telecommunications companies, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Hospitals, many Municipalities, and the United States Military complex to name a few. And perhaps most importantly, protecting families like yours using the same Superior Quality components and Manufacturing Excellence in all KOHLER generators!
