MILWAUKEE, Wis. (March 7, 2017) — Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power provides simple and consistent support and parts ordering and delivery through a single
national distributor, Power Distributors. As the only engine company with a unified single

replacement engine delivery for 99 percent of customers in the United States.
Vanguard representatives will be at booth B7316 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March

“Our focus is on so much more than the engine. That’s why we’ve always been

relationship improves efficiency and offers unparalleled support for Vanguard

consistently trained and parts pricing is the same across the country. No matter what our
customers need, they can take care of it with just one call.”
