Briggs & Stratton, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1908 and operates with approximately 3,410 employees. The company is a producer of engines for outdoor power equipment and functions as a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of lithium-ion battery, standby generator, energy storage system, lawn and garden, turf care, and job site products.
Briggs & Stratton CEO Kristina Cerniglia, who has led the Wauwatosa-based small-engine manufacturer since 2024, discussed the company's transformation and stabilization after emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy at a Milwaukee Business Journal Power Breakfast event on August 21, 2026. Previously, from August 19-20, 2026, its Vanguard brand showcased a comprehensive range of commercial battery solutions at the iVT Expo in Chicago, addressing the professional landscaping sector's ongoing shift from petrol engines to battery power. This follows the company's announcement on August 13, 2026, that it returned to profitability after bankruptcy, signifying growth and potential acquisitions, while also stating it would not resume large-scale manufacturing in metro Milwaukee.
