MILWAUKEE, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation (NYSE: BGG) has won a 2016 BizTimes I.Q. Award
for Innovation from BizTimes Media for its most technologically
advanced lawn mower engine to date, Quiet Power Technology™
featuring Just Check & Add™. The prestigious annual I.Q. Award
celebrates the region's most creative and innovative entrepreneurs
as well as innovative products, services or processes developed by
southeast Wisconsin companies.
"It's a privilege to be named alongside such great southeastern
Wisconsin companies doing work
that's forward thinking and at the forefront of their respective
industries," said Carissa Gingras,
marketing director for consumer engines and service at Briggs &
Stratton. "When we innovate we do so with our customers' feedback
as our guide. The results are products that aren't just cool
engineering tricks but truly beneficial advances people want."
Engineers at Briggs & Stratton combined two of its most
popular innovations, Quiet Power Technology and the Just Check
& Add feature in response to what consumers consistently say
they want in lawn mower engines: Reduced noise levels and easier
maintenance. The result is an engine that's up to 60 percent
quieter* than comparable models and never needs an oil
change**.
"The beauty of this engine is users get the same great power and
performance they expect in a Briggs & Stratton engine, but with
revolutionary convenience features," said Gingras. "To meld these
improvements into a single engine was a top priority, given the
feedback we received from customers."
