Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI) President Stewart Yang of Kohler Co. announces that Water Pik, Inc. has joined PMI as its newest member. Water Pik has been developing innovative personal and oral healthcare products for the entire family since 1962. Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo., Water Pik operates facilities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

“Water Pik is indeed excited to be rejoining PMI at this time,” said Ken Hair, vice president of new products and engineering at Water Pik. “We recognize PMI’s leadership and advocacy role in the North American plumbing industry, and with today’s changing market and regulatory environments, we feel we need to be a part of such an organization again. We’ve been away far too long and hope to participate more actively in this dynamic organization well in to the future.”

“We are delighted to welcome Water Pik back to the fold,” said PMI Executive Director Barbara C. Higgens. “As a member from 1984 to 2002, the company was an important force in the reorganization of PMI in 1997. Since then, we have built a strong proactive organization on that platform.”
