50 Years of Strength
For 50 years, Lesro exemplifies the grit and determination of American ingenuity. With only $20 in their pockets, Alice and Adam Leshem came to the United States in 1968 to pursue the American dream. Leveraging Adam's background as an engineer, Lesro was founded in 1973 to manufacture his patented foldable drafting table.
When the sales of drafting tables plateaued, Adam and his son Jerry pivoted into the seating business and produced the company’s first chair in 1986. With Adam’s other son Ed handling operations, the company emerged as a top name in custom reception seating and tables by always doing right by its customers. Today, Lesro thrives based on its strong foundation of constant innovation, continuous improvement, and customer service.
