Briggs & Stratton Corporation BGG announced today that the Company will temporarily shut down its
production facility in McDonough, Georgia in order to reduce inventory levels
of lawn and garden products that are produced at the facility. Market demand
for lawn and garden equipment remains soft as a result of the ongoing drought
that is affecting a large portion of the United States since May 2012.
Production will be suspended from October 29^th to November 25, 2012; however,
shipments of products and service parts to customers will continue during this
time. Plant personnel will also utilize the shutdown period to complete the
movement of certain equipment from the Company's recently closed Newbern, TN
facility into the McDonough plant and to re-tool for new products for spring
production.
