Dennis Leavitt, General Manager of L’Chef in the St. George
Industrial Park, told members of SGR during a site visit, “wheat is one of the earth’s most valuable commodities” and his company – which
had its official beginning in 1979 when his mother Eloise opened Leavitt’s Bosch
Kitchen Center in St. George – has exclusive distribution rights for Bosch and also manufacturers
a variety of other food processing products.
Although the company headquarter is are located at 100 S. 500 East, the
manufacturing side of the business is located in the old RMC building, a
landlord Leavitt calls “kind and gentle and who treats us like royalty.”
“We are the #1 seller of flour mills on earth and have exclusive distribution rights in the US for Bosch," noted Leavitt who reports his company is creating 70 units per day. He also introduced SGR’s members to the company’s 2nd high
speed flour mill with sales expected to launch in March in Chicago.
“Mom made St. George a Bosch town,” said the club’s newest Rotarian, but added "manufacturing is capital consuming. Our motors - and the bamboo box for our newest product - come out of China." L’Chef’s product line includes Bosch,
NutriMill and several fruit and veggie blenders. “Our products are built to last,” said
Leavitt, “but we pride ourselves in being able to deliver outstanding
customer service repairs and response when needed from right here in our own hometown.”
The delicious lunch was catered by Grandma Tobler's Bakery.
