Its history of innovation includes the first aluminum engine block for lighter weight and improved durability in the 1950s, and more recent advances in fuel-efficient, low-emissions engine technology.
Headquartered in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Briggs & Stratton operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices across North America, Europe and Asia. Its global footprint enables close partnerships with OEM customers as well as support for independent service centers and retail distribution networks.
