LestaUSA Our Team
DAY ONE ROBOTICS COMES FROM WORKING TOGETHER

Our Team

While Lesta robots themselves were originally born in Italy, LestaUSA robots are manufactured, integrated, installed, and supported by our very own team right here in our manufacturing facility shared with DeGeest Corporation in South Dakota. We know North American manufacturing because we do it ourselves.

This is a strategic advantage because the team of people who make and support your Lesta robot have real experience in a production environment where these robots are actually in use. This creates a unique R&D environment focused on creating solutions for general industry.
