Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the company is best known for its automatic standby generators, portable generators, and clean energy solutions.

Its business model relies on a vast dealer and distributor network across North America, with growing international presence. Revenue is segmented into Residential, Commercial & Industrial, and Other (including energy storage). The residential segment is the largest, driven by demand for home backup power.

It is the dominant player in the North American backup generator market, with an estimated 70% market share. Competitors include Cummins, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. The company differentiates through its extensive distribution network, brand recognition, and integrated energy ecosystem. Recent growth has been fueled by increasing power outages, grid instability, and the shift toward renewable energy and energy independence.

Key end markets include residential, commercial (retail, healthcare, data centers), and industrial (manufacturing, oil & gas). Geographically, the vast majority of revenue comes from the United States, with Canada and other international markets contributing a smaller share. The company targets regions prone to severe weather and grid outages, such as the U.S. Gulf Coast, Northeast, and California.
