Leech Industries has provided contract manufacturing services for customers across a variety of industries since 1948. From the early stages of our business to today, we have built a reputation as a high-quality, reliable source for your manufacturing needs.
Our 90,000-square-foot facility located in Meadville, PA utilizes industry-leading equipment to ensure the tightest tolerances and optimal productivity. Our highly trained technicians and engineers are experts in each of our services, from design and manufacturing engineering to part manufacturing and component assembly and everything in between.
Leech Industries has made multiple investments in equipment and software to ensure we are best aligned to meet our clients’ needs. Our partnership with Paperless Parts enables us to efficiently and precisely obtain quotes for our clients and proactively address potential risks before the design progresses to the engineering and shop floor. Additionally, our NetSuite ERP system has allowed us to gain a real-time understanding of our processes and improve overall efficiency. These investments in state-of-the-art manufacturing software have improved our capacity and visibility, so we can continue to deliver parts on time, on cost and on quality.
Our investments and capabilities can be fully reviewed in our comprehensive list of equipment.
