History |
Founded in 1908 by Stephen Foster Briggs and Stratton Harold Mead, the first product was a six-cylinder 2-stroke engine. Patents and rights were bought for engine driven wheelsand the Flyer. They turned it into a stationary engine version and developed it for many uses.
From 1920 Briggs & Stratton was a big manufacturer of special electrical equipment. In addition, many other products such as milking machines, freezers, paper towel dispenser ... produced. Until the World War 2 the major product was powered washing machines. In 1948, a patented cast aluminum engine developed and introduced in 1953. From 1960, the lawn and garden market grew as a result of rapid growth of suburbs. Mowers powered by Briggs & Stratton engines became an integral part of suburban life. A period of product innovations followed, including Easy-Spin® starting, lo-tone mufflers, and an automatic choke. Modern engines are primarily aluminum alloy gasoline engines with outputs of 3 to 35 HP.
The new branding message: "The Power Within" is aimed at sharing an emotional connection with its customers, the campaign emphasizes the Company's more than 100 years old legacy, corporate strengths, and the value of the independent spirit beyond its product lines. Briggs & Stratton believes there is an engine inside everyone that drives him or her forward. Evidence of this is seen in the Company's customers, who have an extreme sense of pride and satisfaction in a job well done. Briggs & Stratton is committed to giving them the products to accomplish that.
