Detroit Businessman Buys Wintor-Swan
The company relocated to Detroit in 1974 and, eventually, sales would grow to be as large as $35 million in 1994. However, Kmart, its biggest customer at the time, cancelled a major part of the work it was ordering, which cut hard into the company's yearly sales.
Clark believes an aggressive marketing campaign is going to help boost the company back to and beyond those 1994 sales levels. "Wintor-Swan has the equipment and capability to do that level of business again. By bringing all of the company's components together as one, instilling high morale, and letting people know what is expected and what is needed to do a good job, we will once again see those figures," notes Clark, while also mentioning the confindence he has in the company's employees. Today, Wintor-Swan employs 165 and has sales estimated to be $22 million.
