LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For over 30
years Green Industry Equipment and Expo (GIE+EXPO), North
American's biggest lawn and garden equipment event, has been an
opportunity for exhibitors to showcase new and innovative products,
this year attracting over 19,000 industry professionals and
enthusiasts. One of the most coveted awards of GIE+EXPO is Power
Equipment Trade (PET) Magazine's Dealers Choice Awards, which
features the top innovative products chosen by dealers.
Briggs & Stratton (NYSE:BGG) was selected by dealers for
their super concentrated 5-in-1 Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment and
Stabilizer in the accessory/attachment category. According to Power
Equipment Trade Managing Editor Dan
Shell, the Dealers Choice Awards often mirror issues facing
the industry. "Three of the accessory nominations were fuel-related
products to address ethanol and fuel quality issues, reflecting the
fuel quality equipment service problems that many dealers see."
With 90% of all fuel sold in the U.S. made of an ethanol blend,
Briggs & Stratton's Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment offers
complete protection against the harmful effects of ethanol-blended
fuel up to E-10 on small gasoline engines found on a variety of
outdoor power equipment.
Briggs & Stratton's proprietary formula is the only
innovation on the market that protects and maintains fuel stability
for up to 3 years. "Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel
Treatment and Stabilizer was introduced in 2011 and has been
helping consumers maintain quality and protect the life span of
their small gasoline engines ever since," says Briggs &
Stratton Service Marketing Coordinator, Andrew Ewig. "The recognition by leading
industry professionals and dealers just reiterates the product's
effectiveness."
PET solicited product nominations from exhibitors and selected
five finalists in each of the five categories including:
accessory/attachment, business management services, handheld,
industrial/engine and wheeled. Qualified dealers participated
through an online ballot system and in-person voting at the show.
This year more than 1,000 lawn and garden power equipment dealers
participated in the ninth annual awards.
