Snapper Inc.

Snapper, Inc. is an American company, formerly based in McDonough, Georgia, that manufactures residential and professional lawn-care and snow-removal equipment.

Snapper is known for their high-quality products, including rear-engine riding lawnmowers capable of standing on end for storage or repair, and for their invention of the first self-propelled rotary lawn mower.

Producing an assortment of yard-care tools, Snapper had facilities in McDonough, Georgia, Beatrice, Nebraska, and Fort Worth, Texas.

Fuqua President Lawrence Klamon explained the closures and consolidation by saying that most of the production from Fort Worth was going East of the Mississippi River.

[5] In 2014 Briggs & Stratton announced the plan to close the Snapper plant in McDonough, Georgia and move production to Briggs & Stratton's factory in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, saying it made sense to fold the Georgia plant's Snapper operations into the Wauwatosa factory near the company's headquarters where engineering, product research and other departments support manufacturing.
