see’s largest privately held company with all products
manufactured and assembled on premise.
Tennsco is a leadingmanufacturer and supplier of steel
office and industrial storage and related products. It
has eight manufacturing and warehouse facilities to-
taling 1.6 million square feet. Among its products are:
steel lockers, storage cabinets, heavy-duty shelving,
library shelving systems, filing systems, bookcases,
multimedia storage systems and shop equipment.
The small business website, Manta, places the com-
pany’s annual revenue at more than $50 million, with
some online estimates upwards of $100 million.
“He always dreamed big,” says Rachel Bradley, Direc-
tor of Marketing for Tennsco, speaking of Les Speyer.
“I don’t think he would have taken on an endeavor
without planning on growing it.”
