The 112-year-old company has also ironed out a $550 million deal with KPS Capital Partners, which promises to keep B&S in business.
The Milwaukee-based manufacturer has been exploring its financial options during the past several months, according to CEO Todd Teske. "The challenges we have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic have made reorganization the difficult but necessary and appropriate path forward to secure our business," he said.
