MILWAUKEE — Briggs & Stratton has named Mark Emmer the new director of utility and commercial engineering for its Commercial Power division. Furthering the focus, experience and commitment to commercial power, Emmer is poised to continue connecting the voice of the customer with the engineering process.
“Mark Emmer will continue to lead an experienced group of engineers toward creating power solutions for our OEM customers,” said Joe Wright, senior vice president of Briggs & Stratton Engine Power Products Group. “And as more and more OEMs will likely outsource functions such as R&D and application engineering, Mark and his team are well-positioned to assist our OEM partners.”
Emmer has spent close to twenty-two years with Briggs & Stratton in various engine divisions including 12 years as the engineering manager of the small engine division, product design engineer for six years and initially as a manufacturing engineer. Emmer is a graduate of Milwaukee School of Engineering with an emphasis on electrical engineering, and has received his MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management. Leading a dedicated engineering staff, Emmer will further develop Briggs & Stratton’s commitment to directly engage customers.
“Product development is led by working directly with our customers and OEMs,” said Emmer. “By working with OEMs in our Engine Application Center (EAC), we make sure each engine specifically matches the application, each application is powered correctly, and we thoroughly and completely understand the performance expected.”
As its list of customers continues to grow, Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power recently added new OEMs to include Ditch Witch trenchers, Diamond Products concrete saws, Husqvarna zero-turn mowers, Club Car utility vehicles, Turfco topdressers and Cummins home standby units.
