John Althouse and Marinette website??

Post by balthaus »

I was trying to get on the Marinette website to inquire about window track and just look around again but the site seems to be down. I thought that Johns father or father in law was running the business and site.
Has anyone heard any info on John or the Marinette website?

Looks like the site registration expired. Hopefully it will be renewed soon.

I know that he had a stroke in 2014, I was just curious if the website / Business is still going.

Called business number. Got voice mail (2014) Stated were trying to fill orders leave message for return call. (return call was from different area code (619). (California)

Doubtful the business is operational now.

Exactly...
It is unfortunate that John has gone through this and has not recovered enough to carry on with the company. I hope that he is having quality family/friend time.

It would be interesting to see what the possibility would be. Marinette back in Louisville KY?

I like that idea...
Anyone know the Pluckebaum folks very well? Maybe they would be interested in joining Marinette in with their operations - if only for parts & maintenance. I've heard of Kingscraft owners recently dealing with Pluckebaum for parts & fabrication.
