The Johnson brothers crafted their first marine engine in a barn in Terre Haute, IN, in 1908. The company’s first outboard motor, a 2-hp twin-engine made of lightweight aluminum alloys, was produced on December 19, 1921. On May 8th, 1928, Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited established its first location in Peterborough, Ontario. The manufacturing and assembly operations were initially located on the site of the present-day Canadian Canoe Museum. In 1935 Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) bought the company. OMC was already an amalgamation of three merged companies (ELTO, Evinrude and another competitor) by the time it had bought the Johnson Motor Company. By 1959, the company had expanded to over 400, 000 square feet and was providing employment to over 1600 people. En 1908 Les frères Johnson ont fabriqué leur premier moteur marin en Terre Haute, IN.
