LIXIL Public Statement about KBIS 2021

August 18, 2020

LIXIL Corporation

After careful consideration, LIXIL will not be participating in the 2021 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS).

This decision has not been made lightly. However, as a global leader in sanitation and hygiene, this pandemic has clearly shown us that protecting the health, well-being and safety of our employees, customers and consumers must influence every decision that we make. This will always be a priority.

We have taken a similar approach by withdrawing from global industry conferences such as ISH and KBC.

The pandemic has taught us that consumers demand safety and comfort in a changing uncertain world, so we are inspired to introduce our new innovative products with a focus on virtual, tailored experiences, which reflect how we now work and live.

At LIXIL, we continue to challenge ourselves to be more innovative and work differently to recognize the opportunities through this crisis.
