Today, almost 80 years later, LECO is recognized globally as a leader in the development of high-quality analytical instrumentation, mass spectrometers, comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography, metallography & optical equipment as well as consumables. Located in St. Joseph, Michigan - just 90 miles from both Chicago and Grand Rapids, Michigan - LECO's headquarters is comprised of several buildings each contributing to a unique area of the company's success. At the state-of-the-art research and development center, teams of engineers work together to create and test ideas that will be incorporated into the next generation of instruments.
