The James Leffel & Company

Since 1862, The James Leffel & Co. has specialized in the design and manufacture of hydraulic turbines in a wide range of capacities and types. We are the industry leader in providing lasting hydropower equipment. Leffel equipment can best be summarized as   efficient, durable and trouble-free in its construction.

In addition to providing new equipment, we possess the drawings and equipment to provide spare parts for all Leffel turbines. To compliment this service, we have highly knowledgeable personnel with many years of combined and individual experience to provide you with complete field service and on-site inspections.

The manufacture of   new products is based upon the customer's project specifications and criteria of the design selection. Proper turbine and arrangement selection is a 'strength' of The James Leffel & Co. We have many years of experience and case studies to allow us to provide you with all the possible alternatives to   assist you in making these major decisions.

All of our new products are manufactured to latest controlling specifications for the particular product. This applies to major power-producing projects as well as to a minor replacement part for a historical mill. We do not differentiate based upon the scope or size of a project. Quality is quality, period.

Today the high cost of energy makes the rehabilitation of existing hydro energy installations feasible and attractive monetarily. Particularly of the larger turbines, the major components can most likely be repaired and reused. The Leffel turbine is designed with durability in   mind, which has its rewards for the owner throughout the life of an installation.

Early in the twenty-first century, some installed Leffel turbines will begin their second century of operation. This is testimonial to the their quality.

To get your   refurbishment project off to a proper start you should first contract The James Leffel & Co. to perform an on-site inspection.
