	What About Quixtar? :: View topic - Alticor visits us!!
		In their previous visit, our friends at Alticor came in for one page to read, and that was for topic #71.
		It is interesting that Alticor makes it a point ot visit us, bookmark multiple pages for later viewing...in many cases multiple reviewing of the same pages (especially those related to TOD), yet they refuse all of our offers to join in and discuss anything.
		I think if Alticor is going to be this interested in something here, and then not be nice enough to join in the discussion...that maybe they should not be in here anymore.

	Criticizing DeVos on China doesn't add up - 08/21/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Nothing Alticor produces in its Guangzhou plant under the Amway brand is exported from China -- to the United States or elsewhere, Alticor said.
		But retooling Alticor so it can prosper in slow-growth Michigan and invest over the past decade in fast-growth China -- in total, a $220 million investment that Alticor says now contributes roughly $2 billion in revenue annually to its $6.2 billion business -- is far better for Michigan than it is bad.
		Alticor operations in Michigan and California ship materials to its plant in China, making Alticor something of an anomaly in the make-it-where-you-sell-it global business world.
