ALG are far more diversified these days. We have experience with chemical processing and smelting, because we deal with heterogeneous materials such as scrap metal and toxic waste. As such, we are a true industrial concern and not merely "cleaners", and deal in a wide variety of processed and unprocessed metal and chemical products.
But obviously, there are RP restrictions - I won't have my people running around with food, passengers, or luxury goods.
Really though, the only reason so many people are saying ALG now is because we are very active.
The ID and diplomacy was very much the same before that, and certainly isn't a better universal trader ID than, say, GMG, IND, or Samura.....it's just that we're more active than them.
