DENVER -- While operations officially began in the new location for Leonard Automatics around the first part of August, Lincoln Economic Development Association (LEDA) officials are holding a ribbon cutting at the new facility today (Thursday) at 11 a.m.

The new facility for Leonard is on 6.5 acres in LEDA's newest industrial park and is one mile from the company's previous location.

Company officials touted the move as a hallmark of the success of the company, giving the company "room to take the company to even greater levels of success."

The new facility provides expanded manufacturing and R&D space, as well as additional office space for new employees. The building will also allow the company to continue existing product lines, explore new markets and improve manufacturing processes and infrastructure.

Leonard Automatics was founded in 1969, and the business moved to Denver in 1980. The company is leaving a building it had occupied since 1985, when it began manufacturing its own line of finishing equipment for the garment manufacturing and industrial laundering industries.
