September 1st was a great day for LeĂłn de Oro USA!
Four years after establishing our U.S. operations in Connecticut, LeĂłn de Oro USA is proud to announce the expansion of our North Branford facility, doubling our manufacturing footprint from approximately 10,000 to 20,000 square feet.
This expansion allows us to add new machinery and increase inventory capacity as we continue to grow and better serve our customers across North America.
We were honored to celebrate this exciting milestone alongside our team, partners, and state and local leaders. A special thank you to AdvanceCT for helping us put this day together
We'd also like to thank León de Oro Spain Founder Antonio Benimeli, CEO Alfredo Sánchez and and their families for making the trip to Connecticut to celebrate this milestone with us. Without their vision, leadership, and trust, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Thank you as well to the state and local leaders who joined us in celebrating and supporting our continued growth, including North Branford Mayor Rose Marie Angeloni, House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora, State Senator Paul Cicarella, and State Senator Christine Cohen.
Lastly, we want to thank our partners who continue to play an important role in our success, and most importantly, our familia de trabajo—our work family. Your continued dedication, hard work, and support are what make our growth possible, and we are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
Founded in Spain in 1979, LeĂłn de Oro proudly serves customers in more than 65 countries across industries including sports, construction, aerospace, industrial safety, and recreation.
Here's to continued growth and an exciting future ahead! 🇺🇸
