CASA GRANDE, AZ — Kohler Co. plans to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its new Arizona manufacturing plant with the support of the federal government.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently selected the Wisconsin-based manufacturer of bath and shower fixtures for up to $51.2 million in awards for an electric boiler and microgrid system at its factory in Casa Grande, south of Phoenix in Pinal County.
