With over 57 years of success, our motto of "Quality and Service" is the heart of our culture. We are a company that is passionate about delivering the highest level of craftsmanship and pride of workmanship to our customers.
Our Journey
Our story began in 1967 when Aerospace Machinist Edwin Lea bought a one-man manufacturing operation in Burbank, California, and the Ed Lea Co. (Elco) was born. As Ed's attention to quality and service brought an increase in demand, machines were added and Ed's son Carl Lea joined the business. Over the years, our company has undergone significant transformations, from manual machining to computerized controls and advanced cutting tools. Today, we are a leading precision custom manufacturing company in metals and plastics.
