Leppo Group: Keeping it in the Family for 75 Years
Posted on April 5, 2021
Glenn Leppo earned his first paycheck at the age of 10. He worked hard polishing tractors and dusting shelves at the family business: Leppo Farm Equipment. The company, which has since evolved into Leppo Group, has been family run since it started in 1945.
Glenn’s mother, Thelma Leppo, oversaw accounting and payroll for the company’s employees, including 10-year-old Glenn and his four older siblings. She paid him 50 cents an hour, about half of minimum wage at the time.
Today, Glenn sits as the dealer principal and CEO of Leppo Group, which employs more than 205 people at 14 locations throughout Ohio, Florida, Alabama and Texas. The same family focus that started the company 75 years ago is what continues to propel them forward today.
