Gerber Plumbing celebrates nine decades
Gerber Plumbing Fixtures is celebrating its 90th anniversary all through 2022.
It has been nine decades since Polish immigrant Maxwell Gerber started the company in 1932 in Kokomo, Indiana, said the company, “on a foundation of forming genuine relationships and a steadfast dedication to service and quality.”
To celebrate, Gerber said it is dedicated to a year of philanthropy, fun, and more.
Gerber has created a 90th anniversary landing page on gerber-us.com to serve as a hub to highlight all things related to celebratory activities.
Also, Gerber said it is running an Instagram campaign aimed at helping its followers give back to a charity of their choice.
To enter, followers need to comment on applicable posts with which charity they would choose and why; and use the hashtag #GerberGivesBack90. Gerber is donating $90 on behalf of several followers a month.
The company has adopted the construction of 28 affordable homes in Cleveland, through Building Hope in the City’s Good Neighbors & Co., a local housing nonprofit supporting low-income families, seniors and refugees, by providing all plumbing products for the properties.
The firm has also partnered with World Vision on their global 6k for water by sponsoring 90 registrations for employees and customers to participate in the 6K, which is the average distance a child in need must walk for clean water in areas of the world where clean water is not accessible.
These 90 registrations were part of the 24,460 people to register, which is going to provide access to life-changing water to nearly 44,000 people, said the plumbing products firm.
The company also introduced its first-ever employee matching gift program. Now through the end of the year, employees can donate any amount to the charity of their choice, starting at $5. Gerber said it will match the donation up to $90.
Gerber is also saying a great big “thank you” to employees across North America at events featuring meals, raffles, gifts, and games.
As a finale to the year of celebration, Gerber plans to host a customer appreciation event at the 2023 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Orlando, Florida.
