Leviton
Manufacturing Co., Inc.
Leading The Electrical Industry Since 1906
 A
Tradition of Innovation
The Leviton Manufacturing Company has its origins at the
dawn of the electrical era in 1906. Originally engaged in
the fabrication of mantle tips for gas lighting, the Company
soon converted to production of a single electrical product
-- a pull-chain lampholder.
Today, Leviton's product offering
comprises more than 20,000 distinct catalog numbers, and
the Company stands as a leader in the electrical industry
as it serves industrial, commercial, OEM and residential
markets through retail and distribution channels.
Leviton also offers an enormous
selection of cords, wire and cable produced by its subsidiary,
American Insulated Wire. Electricord, another Leviton Company,
manufactures a complete line of cordsets in both domestic
and foreign configurations, as well as audio and video accessories,
telephone devices, and electrical accessories. And Leviton's
Telcom Division manufactures an extensive offering of voice/data
communications products for premise wiring. Leviton's Macro
Electronics focused business unit provides lighting controls
and lighting control systems.
Pioneering Advances
Building on nine decades of experience, Leviton's engineers,
designers and researchers apply the latest technologies
to development of new products and product refinements that
satisfy the needs of emerging new market segments.
Equipped with the latest CAD/CAM
design tools, direct model-making capability, and industry-leading
R & D and testing facilities, Leviton continues to introduce
premium specification grade devices, power-quality equipment,
microprocessor controls, and a host of other new products
that set the pace of progress in the industry.
Advanced Manufacturing
Technologies
These electrical and electronic devices are produced in
Leviton factories throughout North America. Employing vertically-integrated
manufacturing, the Company fabricates virtually all parts
for the devices it produces. This assures unmatched quality
not only in finished products but also in components and
subassemblies.
Industrial robotics and automated
assembly improve the manufacturing process dramatically.
Production times are measured in minutes, and often in seconds.
Quick product change-overs to accommodate rapid changes
in market requirements can be carried out efficiently to
keep Leviton at the leading edge of responsiveness.
World-Class Quality
State-of-the-art manufacturing also enables the Company
to harness automated production technologies that facilitate
zero-defect factory output in combination with lower costs
of manufacture
Leviton's Quality Assurance
team has instituted an innovative inspection program applying
statistical process controls. Component parts and subassemblies
are checked at every step to ensure that finished devices
are perfect. In addition, Leviton is using UL as a registrar
to secure ISO registration for all its manufacturing plants,
warehouses and office facilities.
Setting The Standard
For Service
The hallmark of Leviton's leadership is customer satisfaction.
A centralized Customer Service staff brings its resources
to bear for maximum efficiency. With computerized pricing
and order information on line, EDI has been implemented
to provide instantaneous, open electronic data exchange
with all customers in the link.
Leviton's warehousing facilities
are strategically located throughout North America and equipped
state-of-the-art materials handling technologies. All are
interlinked by a computerized network that provides outstanding
turn-around and order fill for customers nationwide. Combined
with electronic data exchange, the distribution centers
are the cornerstone of speedy, efficient product supply
and VMI services to satisfy a broad array of customer needs.
