American Standard Brands is a North American manufacturer of plumbing fixtures, sold under the American Standard, Crane, Fiat, Sanymetal, and Showerite names, based in Piscataway, New Jersey, United States.
The company was formed as American Standard Americas from the North American operations of the kitchen and bathroom division of the American Standard Companies during a breakup of the company in 2007. Crane Plumbing and Eljer were merged into the company in 2008 creating the group 'American Standard Brands'.
It is principally owned by Lixil Group, with Bain Capital Partners holding a minority stake.
In 2015, American Standard was recognized for the top spot for "Brand Familiarity" in Bathroom Accessories category by the Builder Magazine.
On February 1, 2007, American Standard Companies announced it would break up its three divisions. The plan included the sale of its kitchen and bath division and spin off WABCO, American Standard's vehicle controls division, while retaining the Trane Company.
On October 31, 2007, American Standard Cos. announced it had completed the sale of the kitchen and bath division to Bain Capital Partners, LLC. This included the sale of the American Standard name to Bain while American Standard retained the rights to use the "American Standard" name for HVAC products. American Standard changed its name to Trane on November 28, 2007.
Bain Capital created American Standard Americas from the North American units of the bath and kitchen business units acquired from American Standard Companies. Bain sold a majority stake in American Standard Americas to Sun Capital Partners on November 27, 2007.
