Plans to Introduce Snow King and Complete Engine Lineup
Janesville, WI (September 1, 2010) – Certified Parts Corporation (CPC) of Janesville, WI has announced it has entered into an agreement with LCT, (Liquid Combustion Technology) of Travelers Rest, SC to jointly manufacture air-cooled engines for the outdoor power equipment market.
The agreement announced today will provide CPC with engineering, manufacturing, and sales capabilities allowing it to reintroduce the Snow King line of snow thrower engines and other engines formally manufactured and sold by TecumsehPower.
The engines will be exclusively represented by LCT, and sold under the Snow King, Lauson and LCT brands and serviced exclusively by CPC and the existing TecumsehPower dealer/distributor network. Traditionally, the Snow King line of engines has powered more snow throwers than all other brands combined. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
LCT’s current horizontal 4-stroke gasoline engine product offering will be extended with this agreement and will also allow CPC and LCT to provide single cylinder and V-twin vertical engines to outdoor power equipment manufacturers.
LCT only manufactures utility engines with sales and distribution operations throughout the USA, Canada, China and Europe. Additional information on LCT can be found at their website: www.LCTUSA.com.
Certified Parts Corporation purchased certain assets of TecumsehPower Company in 2009, and provides production engines and parts for TecumsehPower (Lauson) engines. In 2010, CPC purchased the assets of Hoffco/Comet and has restarted production in their Wisconsin facilities. CPC is also a large supplier of vintage parts for the recreational vehicle industry.
