Sadly in the 1980s AC was dissolved and sold off in several divisions, ag tractors and such became AGCO-ALLIS, construction equipment division became part of DEUTZ-ALLIS, their forging shops and machine shops were shut down and liquidated in West Allis Wisconsin. Some of the smaller divisions were sold off to similar manufacturers. in the 1970s the mining div. was sold off as well as the atomic energy division, medical products (X-Ray) and the electrical products division. As it stands today, only Caterpillar General Electric and General Motors corp. are our only true legacy to the industrial leaders we once were.
