Generac Power Systems Inc., a manufacturer of standby and portable power generators, has been named the 2009 Waukesha County Business of the Year Executive Award Winner by Waukesha County.
An independent panel of judges, which included business executives, community leaders and past award winners selected Waukesha-based Generac for the award.
"We are extremely honored to receive this award," said Aaron Jagdfeld, chief executive officer of Generac. "What started with modest beginnings 50 years ago in a local Waukesha garage has grown to be one of the largest names in standby power generation as well as one of the largest employers in southeastern Wisconsin."
"We received many outstanding nominees for the County Executive Awards this year," said Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas. "The number of exceptional business, government and nonprofit agencies available to residents in Waukesha County make all of us very proud."
As a company that reinvents itself every three to five years with new technologies, products and manufacturing advancements, Generac is a true U.S. manufacturer - not just an assembler of products, which is a distinction among its competitors, Jagdfeld said.
Generac has 1,500 employees and continues to grow.
