Our Management – Family Roots Meet Wall Street Expertise

Jay E. Levenson

Jay E. Levenson was born and raised near Boston, but left for Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1980. He then attended law school at Case-Western University in Cleveland, OH, where he practiced law for two years after receiving his degree in 1984.

In 1986, however, company co-founder Norman Levenson passed away, and Jay decided to return to Massachusetts to help his father Paul run the family business.

Since then, Jay has worked in all aspects of the company, including production, engineering and purchasing. Currently, Jay leads the Sales Team and is spending most of his time ensuring customer satisfaction.

Jay remains the present-day connection to the company’s family roots.
