​LESCO Manufacturing is a 3rd generation company, founded by David Shapiro in 1999. Its heritage stems from Switch King, which was founded by Natie Shapiro, David's father, in 1958. The company is currently run by David’s son, Jonathan. 

Since its inception, LESCO has set out to increase job creation for demographics typically side-lined in the past through our unique electrical manufacturing process.  We have the capacity to produce up to
500 000 electrical products per month, enabling us to supply JSE-listed companies and South Africa’s largest electrical products distributor. We are also one of the only remaining plug manufacturers in South Africa that competes with well subsidised factories ​out of China. 

Working with us not only provides stakeholders with a glowing reflection on their Corporate Reputation in terms of BBEEE and CSR - but actively supports the establishment of a new, ​more impactful way of doing business.
​
Design
Our assembly process uses mechanical technology, with minimal equipment and no electricity. This makes production a safe, cost effective and efficient process. Our unique design enables any class of labour to assemble our products. ​
