Brunswick provides operational update after IT incident

Brunswick reported an IT security incident on June 13 that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. The company activated its response protocols, which included pausing operations in some locations, and engaging leading security experts and law enforcement to assist. Since that time, Brunswick has made “significant” progress restoring the functionality of its systems and restarting operations at facilities where production or distribution was paused. All primary Brunswick global manufacturing and most distribution facilities are now operational, with the remaining production and distribution facilities expected to restart within a few business days. Given the proximity of the production and distribution disruptions to the end of Q2, the process of catching up lost production and fulfilling backorders will continue through at least Q3.
