K4 Machining is a family endeavor, led by Lou and Anna Leszczynski, who have 30+ years of experience in manufacturing in Connecticut. Their adult children also work in the business. When Lou and Anna began discussing a change over many conversations around the dinner table they decided as a family to launch a manufacturing business with the goal of growing manufacturing in Connecticut by engaging millennials in the business. The younger Leszczynskis grew up around manufacturing and loved the idea of carrying on the legacy of their parents. “We are excited to do this as a family. Anna and I have been working in the industry our entire careers, and now, we want to do something that gets millennials excited about manufacturing,” explained Lou Leszczynski.

Their oldest son, Michael, holds a Master of Engineering with concentrations in Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering from Cornell University, and a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. While in college, he interned in a family-owned sheet metal fabrication facility where he was able to significantly reduce set-up times while improving operator safety in the process.

Daughter, Monica, holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and is completing her M.B.A., both from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Monica also has experience working in the manufacturing industry, where her efforts have been focused on developing and implementing quality management systems. Son, Jonnie, is pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and son, Joey, is currently a student at Chase Collegiate School.
