Louis Allis revs up marketing
Article Abstract:
Officials and employees knew that Louis Allis Co. was in serious trouble in view of its decline from a $60 million company in 1967 to an ailing firm whose profits had dwindled to a near-nonexistent level by mid-1994. However, the Milwaukee-based specialty motor manufacturer has made a spectacular turnaround and earnings and profits are steadily increasing. The company's marketing chief attributes this improvement to an effective telemarketing program.
