News Summary:
Kohler recently launched a neurodiversity employment partnership with The Precisionists Inc. (TPI) on September 11, 2026. This program leverages TPI’s workforce, impacted by autism and other neurodiversities, to deliver services supporting Kohler’s key business processes. Earlier, approximately 5,000 Kohler employees were reported on September 9 to be saving two to five hours per week using Microsoft 365 Copilot, as artificial intelligence begins to produce measurable productivity gains. This followed the company's decision on September 1 to cease production at its only factory in Brazil, located in Andradas, Minas Gerais. The closure, which affected more than 400 employees, marks the end of the Fiori brand in Brazil and signifies a strategic pivot for Kohler's Brazilian business toward premium products and the luxury market. Previously, on August 28, Kohler expanded its Leap smart toilet collection with new models, offering more choices in automated functionality, personal cleansing, and price, while maintaining the line's thoughtful design, advanced technology, and customizable features.
