Employees took a break yesterday to mingle with one another at our trail mix bar. They also had the opportunity to join Chef Brandon, our Milwaukee employee cafeteria head chef, in a knife skills demonstration to learn how to prep food safely in their home kitchens. It's important to take time to socialize during the busy workweek and catch up with colleagues old and new! During the summer months, it’s a perfect time to bring employees together to connect, unwind, and slow down just a bit. 😎 #briggsandstratton #peoplemakethedifference #employeeexperience

"There is nothing more important in our operations than safety. My leadership shadow has to show safety is foundational. That starts with me holding myself to a high standard. My role in creating a safe environment at Briggs is to make sure we do what we say we are going to do, we act quickly when there are issues, and we are proactive in preventing, finding and fixing issues." - Tim Cassidy, plant manger, Tucker, GA. #briggsandstratton #corevalues #safetyculture #safetyisfoundational

#ThrowbackThursday The fuel shortage of the 1970s, combined with increasing environmental concerns, prompted Briggs & Stratton to explore the production of electric motors for lawn and garden equipment. Guiding the expansion and continuous product improvement effort during this period were Chairman Fred Stratton and CEO Vince Shiely. Their leadership was instrumental in introducing significant improvements including Easy-Spin® starting, Lo-Tone™ mufflers, and an automatic choke and starter. Briggs & Stratton also diversified its product lines to cater to the growing marketplace, introducing the Quiet Power engine, the opposed-twin engine, and the I/C® family of engines. Below is our aluminum foundry area and small engine production line in 1973. #briggsandstratton #innovation #manufacturingexcellence #engines

It was wonderful to partner with United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County for the fourth year to offer free admission to Summerfest! Over 7,500 personal hygiene products were donated and sent to Mary Lou's Closet for local lower-income schools. Thank you to our community for showing up and supporting such a great cause. It’s so important to take care of all our neighbors! Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. #briggsandstratton #peoplemakethediffernt #unitedway #communityfirst #communitygiving
