Brunswick Corporation : Forbes Names Brunswick among 500 Best Mid-Sized Employers for 2018

METTAWA, Ill. June 20, 2018 - Forbes Magazine has named Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) among its 500 Best Mid-Sized Employers for 2018.  The Company is ranked No. 168 on the list announced recently by Forbes in partnership with Statista.com.

Brunswick, which was founded nearly 175 years ago, is a leading manufacturer of marine engines, pleasure boats and fitness equipment.  Some of Brunswick's leading brands include Mercury Marine, Boston Whaler, Lund Boats and Life Fitness.  The Company, which had total net sales of $4.5 billion in 2017, has approximately 15,000 employees around the world.

Determined by an anonymous survey of over 30,000 employees at companies with at least 1,000 people (including their subsidiaries), the Forbes list of America's Best Employers identifies companies that employees like to work for and would recommend to others. Brunswick's inclusion on the list distinguishes it from its competitors and recognizes Brunswick employees' dedication to the Company's success.

Brunswick's commitment to its employees is being recognized elsewhere, too, having recently received the 2018 Limelight Award for its Be Your Best well-being program, as well as one of the "Best in Class 401(k) Plans" by PLANSPONSOR. 

"We are honored and proud to be recognized by Forbes as one of the best employers in the country," said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Schwabero.  "Our dedication to excellence in business, community and family makes Brunswick a supportive and rewarding place to work.  More specifically, we foster a Company culture that our employees truly believe in and offer diverse opportunities for our employees to succeed both personally and professionally.  With this recognition, we celebrate the incredible achievements of our employees, who work hard every day to serve our customers and deliver the best results."
