Established in 1992 by Lou Lentine, Lentek is an innovative consumer product
company designed to provide and to fit the needs of every consumer.
With operation in over 60 countries, Lentek exploded onto the market with a
variety of different products and now has a substantial presence in over six
different product categories. Among the different countries where the
Lentek's products are recognized and accepted, two important cities shine.
Mexico City, with and office which main goal is to support the increase of
Lentek's presence in the global sales market, and Shenzen, China to oversee
the manufacturing and development of Lentek's products.
In the year 2002, 10 years after its establishment, Lentek was able to
achieve record sales figures, expanding into new and evolving territories
and experiencing a year of growth and strength for the entire organization.
With these numbers and the welcome to the team of new investor Roy Speer
(founder of The Home Shopping Network) into the Lentek family, who "brings
tremendous experience - in financial, production, logistics and other
integrated business synergies" Lentek's vision toward the future...more than
energetic is impacting.
CEO and President Lou Lentine say, "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". Words that inspire and
guide in the present and reflect Lentek's effort on the past ten years to
achieve their current status as a leader in the consumer products industry.
