Briggs & Stratton is moving its engine-component production to Auburn, according to a Wisconsin television station.The company, the world's largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment, has ceased production at its Wauwatosa, Wisc. plant, resulting in 160 layoffs.According to WTMJ in Milwaukee, the company's moves come after it eliminated its tractor and snow-thrower production in Wauwatosa last fall. At the time, Briggs & Stratton retained most of its employees by placing them in other positions.
