Since 1962, Lesman has been a trusted representative and stocking distributor for process control and measurement instrumentation in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, and Michigan’s upper peninsula. The acquisition by\u00a0Kele Inc<\/a>. in late 2020 created an expansion into the Pacific Northwest, where we now also serve Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, and parts of Montana.<\/p>\n

A-Tech was formed in 1977 in Tulsa OK, with United Electric as its first product line. Serving Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Texas, and Louisiana, the A-Tech team has become known as a trusted, reliable source for process and factory automation, including heaters, sensors, controls, and instrumentation. A-Tech was acquired by Kele in late 2021, and joined forces with Lesman to become Kele Industrial Automation.<\/p>\n
