LEECO

COMPANY

LEECO Technologies Corporation was founded in Taiwan by a group of engineers and a manufacturing team with over 30 years of experience in friction hinge solutions. We design and manufacture friction hinges and torque hinges for a wide range of position control applications — including automotive devices, medical equipment, marine systems, lighting, point-of-sale terminals, office furniture, and consumer electronics. Custom solutions are available for non-standard applications.

Our core technology is the torque engine — the mechanism that generates friction torque. In certain designs, this technology enables our products to achieve over 100,000 cycles of operational life with less than 15% torque tolerance, a benchmark that places LEECO among the most durable hinge engineering programs in the industry.

30+ Years Experience
100k+ Cycle Life Capability
