The award waspresented at the 70th Miami International Boat Show held this year. Kohler's new Ultra Low CO generator is equipped with an enlarged exhaust catalyst that further reduces CO and other elements. This results in significantly cleaner fuel burn and up to a 90 percent reduction in CO emissions.

Kohler Photo Album Laser Shoot-out Event20 May 2011 • KPS Singapore

Laser shoot-out, initially famed as laser quest, is one of the most realistic, outdoor combat games in the country. It uses weapons equipped with laser tag technology to complete the mission assigned.

The Recreational Club recently organised a laser shoot-out event for Kohler associates, as part of a team-building activity. Bolstering the spirit of comradeship among members, this team-building activity reinforces learning values such as leadership, delegation, planning and communication. The Kohler associates had a grand time collaborating as a team in their attempt to bring down their “enemies”, devising combat strategies to achieve this common goal. The adrenalin rush was felt throughout the game and stronger bonds are being formed, which can only serve to enhance positive business relationships in the workplace.

Immense concentration Taking them down single-handed

We are the champions!

Head-on with enemy

One for all, All for oneGeared and ready to charge!
