Brunswick Corporation reported an IT security incident on June 13 (read SGB Media’s coverage here) that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. The company said it activated its response protocols, which included pausing operations in some locations and engaging leading security experts and law enforcement to assist.
The company is now reporting that since that time, due to the work of Brunswick’s IT and business teams and outside partners, Brunswick has significantly progressed in 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 reportedly operational, with the remaining production and distribution facilities expected to restart within a few business days. Brunswick Corp. said the respective teams are working to ramp production and fill backorders across its business.
Given the proximity of the production and distribution disruptions to the end of the second quarter, Brunswick said catching up on lost production and fulfilling backorders would continue through at least the third quarter.
