Kohler becomes Rehlko: new name, same power and reliability
Kohler Engines becomes Rehlko: same performance, new brand identity. Discover what changes and what stays the same for customers and partners.
In September 2024, Kohler Energy officially announced the rebranding of its historic engine division, unveiling its new name: Rehlko.
Why Kohler changed its name: introducing Rehlko
The globally recognized brand Kohler Engines, known for producing reliable, high-performance engines, has entered a new chapter under the name Rehlko.
This strategic rebranding is not a break with the past but a natural evolution aligned with the company’s global vision: to strengthen its presence in the industrial and agricultural engine markets with a clearer, more modern and distinctive identity.
What’s changing with Rehlko?
From a technical and operational perspective, absolutely nothing is changing. The engines remain the same: same models, same performance, same quality. The organization, suppliers and support network are also unchanged.
The transition to Rehlko affects only the name and brand identity. For customers, there’s no disruption—on the contrary, this change enhances brand recognition, consistency and market value globally.
What the name Rehlko represents
The name Rehlko reflects a desire to establish a strong, independent brand focused entirely on the engine division. As the company’s CEO noted, “Our new company name is inspired by the six letters of Kohler and symbolizes the reliability, determination, reinvention and resilience that have always defined our company—and always will—as we respond to the evolving demands of the distributed energy market.”
This rebranding brings with it a more agile and internationally positioned identity, designed to meet the challenges of today’s industrial landscape, with an emphasis on technological innovation, sustainability and the key values that define the power solutions industry.
A new name, the same trust
If you’re already a Kohler customer, rest assured: Rehlko is simply a new signature on the same legacy of excellence. Your contracts, spare parts, warranties and after-sales support remain fully valid.
The transition has been designed to be seamless and transparent, with no disruptions for distributors, dealers, or end users.
What this means for Cirifalco Group customers
As an official partner and distributor, Cirifalco Group will continue to offer the full range of Rehlko (formerly Kohler) engines with the same technical expertise, inventory availability and after-sales service you’ve always relied on.
