"In June, after missing a $6.7 million interest payment, the company’s board voted to give executives and other key employees $5 million in cash retention awards, including $1.2 million for Todd Teske, chairman, president and CEO, and $600,000 for Mark Schwertfeger, senior vice president and chief financial officer."
"In 2007, it closed its engine plant in Rolla, Mo., that once employed up to 800 people – moving much of that production to China. In 2012, it announced the closing of a plant in Newbern, Tenn., resulting in the loss of almost 700 jobs. It also closed its plant in the Czech Republic that year."
Several years ago, I read that only the B&S racing engines were assembled in Milwaukee and everything else was imported from China (may or may not have been true).
