Located outside Kansas City, Billy Goat makes aerators, sod cutters, overseeders, power rakes, brush cutters, walk-behind blowers, lawn vacuums and debris loaders. The privately held company’s annual net sales total about $30 million.
The head of Briggs & Stratton’s Turf and Consumer Products division, Harold L. Redman, said Billy Goat’s products “complement Briggs & Stratton’s already strong commercial turf brands.”
Todd J. Teske, chairman and CEO of Milwaukee-based Briggs & Stratton, said, “We welcome the management team and the employees of Billy Goat to our team, and look forward to building upon the strong foundation that has made them a strong and successful company.”
