AlliedLocke Industries, founded in 1965 by Robert L. Crowson as Allied Chains, is based in Dixon, Illinois. The company started by producing steel detachable chains for the agricultural market, and its 1978 acquisition of Locke Steel Chain Co. broadened its offerings and led to the Allied-Locke Industries name. Over the ensuing decades, ALI expanded its portfolio to include sprockets, precision roller chains, and engineering class chains through a series of strategic acquisitions. Key milestones—the 1985 Cullman operation, the 1988 purchase of Chain Engineering Co., the 1992 acquisition of Moline Corporation, and the 2001 environmental products division—broadened its presence in environmental and industrial markets. Today, AlliedLocke operates three U.S. manufacturing plants and maintains five product divisions, including Agricultural, Precision Roller, Environmental, and Industrial Chain and Sprockets, serving customers in agriculture, forest products, and other industrial sectors.
