American Bath Group

What American Bath Group does

American Bath Group (ABG) is a private, Irving, Texas-headquartered manufacturer of residential and commercial bathware products, operating a portfolio of 30+ acquired and retained brands including MAAX, Swan, Aquatic, AKER, Bootz, Clarion, Hamilton, Dreamline, Comfort Designs, IMI, Mr Steam, and MAAX Spas. The company produces bathtubs, showers, shower bases, shower doors, wall surrounds, and solid surface products, with proprietary material technologies including AcrylX applied acrylic finish, Swanstone compression-molded solid surface, CenturyStone, Veritek, GlassShield, and NexTile composite wall technology. Manufacturing is primarily domestic across the USA and Canada, supporting code-compliant products for ADA, ANSI-B, ANSI, and FHA requirements.

ABG serves six primary commercial verticals (hospitality, multifamily, healthcare, senior care, modular construction, and student housing) plus a residential channel, going to market through direct field and inside sales, an extensive distributor/wholesale network, and the ABG Connect self-service portal with order lookup, warranty claims, and the ABG Ship Now quick-fulfillment offering. Customer-facing digital tools include the ABG Product Configurator and ABG University training platform. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific.

The company is in active digital and operational transformation: it migrated to a MACH (microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, Headless) architecture running 15+ brand websites, implemented Salsify for product information management bringing 15,000 SKUs to data standards, and in April 2025 entered a strategic partnership with LIXIL to expand bathware distribution and product capabilities. Earlier acquisitions (notably DreamLine in December 2020) and large capital raises (a $1.67B round in November 2020, $175M in January 2021, and $500M in July 2025) have funded portfolio expansion and operational scaling.
