| Lentek was established in 1992 by
Lou Lentine as a useful and innovative consumer product company designed to fit the needs
of every consumer. Lentek exploded onto the market with a variety of different products
and now has a substantial presence in over six different product categories. The growth
that Lentek has achieved is only matched by the presence they have created for themselves
within the market. Lentek
now operates in over 60 countries and has offices located in Shenzen, China to oversee the
manufacturing and development of Lentek products, and an office in Mexico City, Mexico to
increase Lentek's presence in the global sales market. CEO and President Lou Lentine says,
"As a company we've never accepted that growth is a result of success, but rather a
means to success, and have never hesitated to invest in good people and product."
These words have guided Lentek to achieve the current stronghold they have on the consumer
products industry.
Year 2002 was a strong year for the
entire organization as they were able to achieve record sales figures, expand into new and
evolving territories, and welcome new investor Roy Speer into the Lentek family. Lou
commented on the new investor, "As founder and past president of the Home Shopping
Network - the now legendary first national TV shopping channel - Mr. Speer brings
tremendous experience - in financial, production, logistics and other integrated business
synergies - to Lentek that will allow us to continue our charge toward new corporate
heights."
