During the late 1980s and early 1990s, LRE acquired G.E.P.E. S.A. and Les Modeles Francais S.A. to provide the
aerospace and rail markets with switching components and systems specifically designed for severe environments. By 1992, Leach consolidated all of its U.S. manufacturing operations at the present site in Buena Park, California. In 1994, Leach Corporation merged with LRE to form Leach International — the oldest and largest supplier of aerospace relays and solid state switching devices worldwide. European operations were consolidated at Sarralbe, France, Leach International’s European headquarters.
