Forbes Magazine has named Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) among America’s Best Employers for 2019.  The Company is ranked No. 219 for employers with 5,000 employees or more. The list of 500 honorees was announced by Forbes in partnership with Statista.com. This is the second consecutive year that Brunswick has been recognized.

Brunswick, which was founded nearly 175 years ago, is a manufacturer of marine engines, pleasure boats and fitness equipment.

Brunswick’s inclusion on the list distinguishes it from its competitors and recognizes Brunswick employees’ dedication to the company’s success.
