American Standard marks 150 years of progress in hygiene technology

For 150 years, American Standard has helped shape homes and lifestyles across generations with products defined by thoughtful design, enduring quality, and a deep-rooted commitment to hygiene and comfort. From its humble beginnings in 1875, the brand has grown into a trusted global name in bathrooms and kitchens—bringing timeless elegance and purposeful innovation into homes, hotels, and public spaces.

Designing for the future, inspired by the past

With each faucet, shower, toilet, or bathtub, American Standard continues to deliver solutions that are not only built to last but are also designed with sustainability and user comfort in mind. The brand’s heritage—centered on care, comfort, and hygiene—remains its foundation as it looks to the future.

Celebrating 150 years with American Standard

Innovation tailored to Asia-Pacific needs

Across the Asia-Pacific region, American Standard is forging new paths in bathroom innovation, offering solutions tailored to local preferences and everyday realities. The award-winning Genie Hand Shower, for instance, is designed to deliver a revitalizing experience even in homes with low water pressure, while the EasyFlo faucet introduces a push-button mechanism for greater ease of use.

Understanding the diversity of lifestyles in the region, the brand developed the DuoStix Hygiene Spray—a versatile tool suited for both personal hygiene and bathroom cleaning. Space-saving and user-centric, the recently introduced Loven collection features soft curves and a compact silhouette, perfect for urban living. Meanwhile, smart solutions like SpaceCreate, which integrates storage into toilet tanks, and CoolShield technology, which helps prevent scalding in the shower, reflect the brand’s practical, human-first design philosophy.

Reinforcing its leadership in hygiene innovation, American Standard recently unveiled the E-Lite integrated shower toilet, a product that brings together advanced hygiene and comfort in one elegant unit. From UV sterilization and a self-cleaning nozzle to posterior and feminine cleansing options, E-Lite reflects the brand’s signature blend of intuitive design and thoughtful functionality.

Adding a personal touch, American Standard now offers fittings in a range of colors, empowering homeowners to express their individual style while designing bathrooms that feel uniquely theirs.

“We are proud to celebrate the 150th brand anniversary of our American Standard brand, honoring a legacy of trust and innovation built on a deep understanding of consumer needs and requirements.

As it celebrates a century and a half of excellence, American Standard also looks ahead with confidence and clarity. The brand remains steadfast in its mission to shape the future of bathroom design—focusing on consumer-centric innovations that make everyday living more comfortable, intuitive, and hygienic.

As a demonstration of its continued industry leadership, American Standard returns as the headline sponsor of the Asia Pacific Property Awards for the seventh year, supporting design and development excellence across the region. Later this year, it will also kick off the fourth edition of the American Standard Design Awards (ASDA)—a platform that challenges student designers to reimagine what’s possible in the bathroom space and showcase their creativity to a panel of esteemed industry professionals.
