 PROFILE
Generac Portable Products probably wishes Y2K came around every year. The company, a subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton, manufactures portable generators and pressure washers. Using lawnmower-type engines, the generators produce electricity for a variety of consumer and commercial uses. Generac -- which operates plants in the US and the UK -- markets its products primarily under the Craftsman and Generac-Nagano brands. Customers include Home Depot and Sears, which together account for 61% of Generac's sales. Heavily in debt at the time, Generac was acquired by rival Briggs & Stratton in 2001.
