Walmart recently recognized Briggs & Stratton Corporation for its leading contributions to its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal, namely that of its work on the E Series engine.

After bursting onto the scene in 2010, US LBM quickly won honors as “one of the fastest-growing companies” in the building materials universe. More than five years later, it still holds that distinction.

LP Building Products is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its LP SmartSide Trim & Siding.

To get a sense of this legacy, LP has pointed out that it has sold 10 billion square feet of siding and trim over the past two decades -- enough to span the distance back and forth from the Earth to the moon eight times over.

Briggs & Stratton recently released its Just Check & Add oil change technology. Now, it's expanding the feature to more walk mowers across more brands, including its popular 625ex Series engine.

Just Check & Add technology is making it possible to no longer need to change oil. The engines are designed to run cleaner and cooler, meaning homeowners simply need to check and add SAE 30 small engine oil if it runs low.

Briggs & Stratton has come up with a new-and-improved engine technology -- this time not only with a Mow N' Stow engine, but with new Just Check & Add technology.

Mow N' Stow allows the mower to be stored upright, taking up less space in the garage (70% reduced storage, to be exact).

With Just Check & Add, it also eliminates the need for oil changes -- oil can be easily added when necessary.

Lumberyards are critical suppliers to the home-building industry. With escalating building material prices and labor shortages, builders are looking for more collaboration with their lumberyards. I recently had an opportunity to speak on a panel with executive management from two lumberyards. The audience of home builders was genuinely interested in collaboration.
