Company History
American Standard traces its roots back to 1872, when John B. Pierce opened a tinware shop in Ware, Massachusetts. With the business skills he forged in this shop, he would later found the Pierce Steam Heating Company, one of three companies that would merge in 1892 to become the American Radiator Company.
In 1929, the American Radiator Company merged with The Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company. Products from the combined company could be found in about half of the homes in the U.S. and Europe. For the next 18 years, the business was known as the American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation.
The Fox Furnace Company was purchased by the American Radiator Company.
By 1948, people had informally shortened the name of the company to American-Standard, so the company began to refer to itself by that name.
