Field Manager (Dallas Area) (Project Management)
About us
In 1971, Leon and Doris Levinthal opened a small cabinetry plant in East Bernard just west of Houston. As a playful twist using both their first names, Leedo was created. Recognizing the booming housing market in Texas, Vic Samuels purchased Leedo in 1981. As European style cabinetry increased in popularity, in 2013 Leedo added a European frameless plant in El Campo, Texas. After fifty years, Leedo is still family owned and has grown in production capabilities to over 600,000 cabinets per year to support multi-family builders, single family builders and distributor partners across the country.
Leedo is dedicated to making our customers successful, both in the short term and the long term. Our dedication to customer service goes hand-in-hand with our long term perspective on the industry.
