New Article Posted - The Leica Story - Manufacturing and Assembly

[Kevin Raber]

Our Leica story continues with the latest post on the homepage.  This video we focus on manufacturing and assembly of Leica products.  I interview Svetomir “Tommy” Stankovic – Director Of Manufacturing Operations.  It's interesting to listen and see what it takes to get all the variety of Leica products out the door.  You can read the latest article and see the video HERE

That's what happens when you're too close to a project: wood, trees?

I thought it had a beautiful golden glow! Enjoy for what it is, not what it might have been; very serendipitous indeed.
