At that time, the name of the company was changed to Allied-Locke Industries.In 1985, Cullman Ind., a sprocket manufacturer in Wheeling, IL, discontinued operations. ALI purchased a portion of the Cullman equipment and hired some of their employees. From this beginning, our sprocket offering has grown to complement the chain sizes now offered by ALI.In 1988, ALI purchased Chain Engineering Co.
