Allan Marzetta Altek Owner Gets High Performance With Down-To-Earth Style
Grayden Jones, Staff writer, May 13, 1996
​
Allan Marzetta owns one of the largest machining and plastic-injection molding companies on the West Coast, with 180 employees and $15 million in annual sales.
​
But he doesn’t act like it.
​
As chairman of Altek Inc. in Liberty Lake, Marzetta puts on white socks, not executive airs. He’d rather pound nails at his new $5 million factory than attend pretentious downtown business meetings. He’d rather stalk a Canadian moose with his 300 Winchester than the next big deal.
