Solo Sales, Inc. v. North America OMCG, Inc., No. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Winnebago County. Honorable Timothy R. Gill, Judge, Presiding.
Defendant manufactures industrial equipment.
Plaintiff, a manufacturer's representative, acts as an agent for various manufacturers to sell the manufacturers' products to third parties. In December 1994, the parties entered into an oral agency agreement. During the agency relationship, plaintiff approached Dorco, a Wisconsin company, about purchasing defendant's machines. Dorco indicated that it wished to purchase three machines. Defendant was reluctant to sell three machines at once because of the substantial amount of money involved and the possibility that the machines would not perform as Dorco expected.
