Some names are synonymous with the industries they serve. For the Turned part and Screw machine industry the name Detterbeck is one of those. With ties going back generations, to the days of overhead belt drive machines, the Detterbeck family has continued to be a force in the industry. As a designer and manufacturer of cams, special tooling, blanks and tool holders, they have carved a niche in the industry for over eighty-five years.
Dedication to the industry through providing information and training
has been the standard for the Detterbecks. Lester
G. Detterbeck Sr. was well known for years of cam design training courses and
his famous newsletters. He held a passion for helping people learn about the
machines that were his life. His quest to
educate the industry continues at L.D.E. to this day.
The company has been called upon for years as a featured speaker for numerous local and national meeting. Through the companies involvement they have been awarded the Technical Service Award from the Precision Machine Products Association (PMPA) eleven times to date, a record unmatched in the association.
L.D.E. puts this knowledge and attention to detail into every product that they manufacturer. Our engineers work directly with the customers to develop exactly what is needed. The right tool, for the right job, made the right way. This approach has been recently integrated into our Boyar-Schultz-SMT tool holder line, which was purchased by L.D.E. in 2000.
The
firm though rooted in history knows that the future requires state of the art
facilities and equipment. Located in a new 27,000 square foot facility (May of
2001), Lester Detterbeck Enterprises utilizes many of the most modern pieces of
equipment available to the industry. Great pains have been taken to insure that
the company is ready and able for all the needs of the changing industries that
they serve.
