    WORLD
    HEADQUARTERS
    SIGN 1929-2000
    FROM CLOSED
    JOHNSON EVINRUDE
    OMC PLANT
    WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS
    For sale, THE Johnson Evinrude
    Outboard Marine Corporation
    world MFG sign that stood at the OMC plant in Waukegan, Illinois.  That plant is no more, but the memory lives on in all the Evinrude and Johnson motors that were produced there.
    In 1929, on February 23, the merger of Evinrude Motors, Elto Outboard Motor Co, and Lockwood Motor Co formed the Outboard Motors Corporation (OMC).  Then in 1936 Johnson Motors  was consolidated with OMC and later OMC changed its name to Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC).  OMC's World Headquarters were moved to the Johnson MFG plant in Waukegan where it  remained until 2000 when OMC filed for bankruptcy on December 22nd.  BRP became the new owners of Evinrude and Johnson. However just a few years after acquiring these 2 famous motor brands, they discontinued Jonson Outboards. This year was a very tough year for everyone and sadly BRP announced that 2020 would see the end of production for Evinrude.
    Provenance for this sign includes: Photos of this sign in place and Letters from the city of Waukegan. The sign is framed in cedar with display rings.
