Leedo was founded in 1971 by Leon and Doris Levinthal before being purchased by Vic Samuels in 1981. More than 30 years later, Samuels remains the majority owner, and Leedo remains committed to meeting the needs of large-scale production builders – true to the vision of our founders. Leedo produces more than 400,000 cabinets per year and more than 100 miles of countertops. We have three factories west of Houston, Texas, where we make traditional face-frame cabinets, European-style frameless cabinets and laminate countertops for the multifamily industry. Leedo is dedicated to making our customers successful, both in the short term and the long term. Our dedication to customer service goes hand-in-hand with our long term perspective on the industry. We expect to provide cabinets and countertops to high-volume builders for decades to come, and that conviction guides how we treat our customers. Our business culture is about continuous improvement with controlled business processes. Throughout our company, from sales to design, from manufacturing to delivery and installation, we spend a tremendous amount of energy defining the best way to execute each function within our business. These written processes give us a structure for training and for auditing our teammates’ performance to ensure that they are working according to our agreed methods.
