About rbICorp.com
Chartered in 1919 with four employees, RBI Corporation (formerly Richmond Battery & Ignition) opened its doors committed to service. At that time, service was limited to battery maintenance on electric cars! The Company's growth paralleled the automotive aftermarket growth including Briggs & Stratton locks and keys. In 1946, RBI was appointed as a distributor for the budding small engine division of Briggs & Stratton, with the largest potential being gasoline powered washing machines.
