Briggs & Stratton Engines

Briggs & Stratton is a globally recognized manufacturer of small gasoline engines and outdoor power equipment. Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the brand has been a staple in the power tool and lawn care industry for over a century. Known for its durable engines found in lawnmowers, pressure washers, and generators, the company has undergone significant transitions in its ownership structure.

In 2020, following a Chapter 11 filing, Briggs & Stratton was acquired by KPS Capital Partners. This acquisition marked the transition from a public company to a private equity-backed firm, ensuring the brand's long-term operations. While many of its core products continue to be manufactured in the United States, the company maintains a global supply chain with manufacturing facilities in other regions to support international markets.
