Kohler Energy Division Sell Majority Stake To Platinum Energy
FYI. I learned this yesterday from my local Cub dealer and checked on-line to verify from multiple sources. I post this because of the implications of the discontinuation of legacy parts for discontinued engines - of which I own 3.
Private Equity Global Investment Firm Platinum Energy bought the majority stake of Kohler Energy Unit of Kohler Company. Rebranding will begin under the Rehlko name and experts close to the transaction expect that older engines and parts availability will be phased out in 3-5 years to streamline the business and cut costs to maximize profit margins. Platinum Energy’s interest was in the unit’s commercial and industrial generator business. The small engine unit was included as part of the transaction. This transaction was completed in 2024.

If there is a need for parts, the aftermarket will provide it. Only problem is 50% of new parts are bad out of the box, EVEN OEM parts. and it does not matter if one is working on wheeled things, toilets or appliances. Just surf the net if you haven't already. Quality has long since been replaced with low cost suppliers. such is life.

The new Name is Pronounced REL-CO
REHLKO is Just the Kohler Name Jumbled Up. Different Name Same engines and this is Not New Information this started in 2023 after the son of the founder Died in 2022. I guess the Grandson did want to Be more than a CEO In Title Only and Maybe his Kids Didn't want to Take over Kohler either BTW this Only applies to the engines and Power Generation systems. Not the Plumbing Systems, The Current CEO of REHLKO was a VP Of Kohler since 2013 I don't Like the Name change, either. That is the downside of Family Owned companies when the next generation doesn't want to take over the company. What do you do. I wish it was KPS Buying it, But that would have gotten Uncle Sam Involved Because they Own Briggs and Stratton. KPS is an equity firm that is known to improve the companies they buy. So Platinum Energy might be a Good thing if there is anything like KPS.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
