The Lee Company serves a diverse variety of industries. There’s the mainstream — aerospace, automotive, medical, oil and gas, motorsports, etc.—but also ones that aren’t so easily categorized. We’ve built components for consumer products, robotics companies, marine, and underwater vehicles, construction equipment, and more. If your product has a hydraulic or pneumatic manifold, it can use Lee components—and nearly all Lee components are descended from the Lee Plug® Expansion Plug.
Back in the 1950s, engineers were searching for a more reliable and effective way to seal machined and cross-drilled holes in metal housings. In response to this need, The Lee Company created a plug designed to form a permanent leak-tight seal without using O-rings, threads, or sealants. The Lee Plug remains the best-seller for The Lee Company, with well over 200 million plugs having been used in hydraulic systems.
Not only is The Lee Company original OEM and the only qualified aerospace supplier of this single-point-of-failure technology, but we also bring a level of problem-solving, experience, innovation, and a commitment to quality that sets us and the product apart from our competitors.
Our standard product offering usually contains a plug the size and proof pressure that a customer needs. This includes evolved configurations of our original expansion plug with different material, installation, and retention options. With that said, we’re more than happy to create innovative designs on request. Each of our customers is unique – and they often need unique plugs. Over half of the products we sell at The Lee Company is a customized solution. One of our field sales engineers will work directly with your design team to develop a custom product to fit your unique application. So whether your solution is off-the-shelf or one-of-a-kind, you can rest assured knowing that Lee products always adhere to exacting standards for quality, performance, and reliability.
