CEO [[Allicia Padier]] worked diligently to overcome her company's reputation for slipshod products by implementing a new PR campaign. In addition, she constantly lobbied large defense contractors in both the League and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] to use Kerr-McGuinness armor. As a result, sales increased dramatically in the 3060s, but critics were still not satisfied with the quality of the company's products.<ref name=H:HMp133/>
