Briggs & Stratton Engines and Power Equipment

Briggs & Stratton is a legacy American brand that has become synonymous with small gasoline engines for lawn mowers, pressure washers, and generators. Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company built its reputation on engineering reliable vertical and horizontal shaft engines that power countless outdoor brands globally. Following a significant financial restructuring in 2020, the brand transitioned from a public corporation to ownership by a private equity firm, ensuring its continued presence in the global manufacturing sector.

While the company remains deeply rooted in the United States with major manufacturing facilities in states like Alabama and Georgia, it operates a global supply chain with assembly and part production in China and Mexico. This distribution allows the company to serve international markets while maintaining its core engineering base in America. Today, the brand is owned by KPS Capital Partners through Briggs & Stratton, LLC, which continues to drive innovation in both gasoline-powered and emerging battery-electric power solutions.
