Bally Management Ltd.
 PROFILE
Bally Management may have gotten the boot from Swiss conglomerate Oerlikon-Buhrle, but the shoe designer still clings to its world-recognized, haute brand name. Bally's premium-priced shoes account for most of the company's sales; its other products include accessories (briefcases, handbags, neckwear, scarves) and apparel. Bally owns or franchises about 280 stores. Its products are also sold in hundreds of independent stores such as Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. The company's new owners are trying to move it from fancy shoes to luxury goods on par with Gucci and LVMH. Oerlikon-Buhrle sold Bally (formed in 1851 by Carl Franz Bally) to investment firm Texas Pacific Group in 1999.
