FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Commercial laundry equipment manufacturer Alliance Laundry Systems was recently named 2014 Business of the Year by Marian University, the company reports.
For 33 years, the Business and Industry Awards program—which helps raise scholarship funds for students in the Marian University School of Business and Public Safety—has recognized Wisconsin organizations and leaders who have made a “significant, positive contribution” to their organization and community, according to Alliance.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by a leading university in our community, and to be added to the list of exceptional companies who have been named Business of the Year before us,” says Alliance CEO and President Mike Schoeb, who accepted the award on his company’s behalf.
“While Alliance’s global footprint continues to expand, we take great pride in telling customers that Ripon, Wis., is our home.”
The company was one of six Wisconsin businesses and leaders recognized during the awards ceremony in Fond du Lac. Previous award recipients include Acuity, New Glarus Brewing Co., Oshkosh Corp., Quad/Graphics and S.C. Johnson, according to Alliance.
“For its exceptional laundry equipment and service, ever-growing economic influence, and dedication to customers and the community, Alliance is highly deserving of this recognition,” says Jeffrey Reed, dean and professor, Marian University School of Business and Public Safety. “Already an outstanding company and industry leader, Alliance continues to grow and thrive.”
