Alden manufactures a three-speed blender, its top seller, along with a five-speed blender. The hand mixers are manufactured in two variants-a small handheld mixer with two rotating beaters and another that comes with an optional stand and an attached mixing bowl. Alden's temperature-controlled skillets are manufactured in a single style with three color options.
"Our product offerings are narrower," Milt Alden added, "but our line workers know each product like the back of their hands. This allows us to produce superior products while holding our prices low.
