By the late 1950s and early 1960s, pioneering LE representatives Bill Durand (Seattle/Tacoma), John Kowsky, Sr. (Bellingham/Everett), Alex LeFore (Walla Walla/Milton-Freewater) and Harold Wilhelm (Spokane) established the base of what today has become "LE Northwest." From it's inception, LE Northwest has been involved with some of the world's largest projects, including Hanford, the construction of Interstate 5 through the Pacific Northwest, the "Chunnel" under the English Channel, and the mighty hydro-electric dams.
Today, LE Northwest continues to be the supplier to the most challenging opportunities the Pacific Northwest and the world have to offer. LE's range of superior lubrication products have helped companies realize significant returns on investment through increased equipment life, longer service intervals, and reduced energy costs.

Lubrication Engineers® Corporate History
Based in Fort Worth, TX, LE has recognized and filled the need for heavy-duty, high performance, quality lubricants that exceed the capabilities of ordinary, commercial, synthetic, and specialty grade lubricants since its beginning in 1951. Field experiences and customer testimonials have shown that LE lubricants consistently deliver better performance than other premium grade lubricants. They extend lubrication intervals and equipment life and significantly reduce wear, energy requirements, downtime and maintenance costs, thereby recovering the initial cost of the lubricant many times over. Industrial, fleet, commercial, governmental, institutional and agricultural customers have used these lubricants successfully for many years in a wide variety of applications throughout the United States and many other countries.
