Launches include the Company's one-of-a-kind faucet inventions, the expansion of their flagship luxury brand DXV, and introduction of stylish and technologically-advanced kitchen and bath products, outlined in detail below.
"American Standard is proud to reveal many game-changing new products at KBIS this year," said Steven Delarge, chief executive officer and president of LIXIL Water Technology Americas, American Standard and DXV. "Our latest offerings raise the standards of daily living at home, at work, and around the world with never-before-seen technologies and unforgettable designs."

These three initial designs celebrate the thrilling new possibilities that 3D printing opens up for the design and function of faucets, in particular the avant-garde ways to present water and redefine the user experience.
