The ideas behind LEHR Incorporated were born during a series of long, cold nights spent converting gasoline engines to run on propane aboard the research vessel the Sea Surveyor at work in the North Sea. Having already used propane to power small engines on several other ships in his years at sea, Captain Bernardo Jorge Herzer CEO and founder of LEHR knew he had something. "Propane is just safer, more efficient and more reliable," said Captain Herzer, "that's why we used it on our ships." Five years later, with corporate offices, and an R&D center at its "green" headquarters in Los Angeles, California, LEHR is now a groundbreaking leader in the research and development of environmentally friendly technology. "The color is actually LEHR green," says Captain Herzer, the architect of the company's commitment to developing products whose manufacture, usage and disposal produce the least amount of pollutants and leave the smallest carbon footprint possible. Utilizing a patented proprietary technology similar to what was developed at sea, LEHR's first generation of lawn and garden tools is powered by propane, for home and commercial use. Fueled by the safer, cleaner and more reliable propane, LEHR products are designed to replace their gasoline burning counterparts and to stem the overflow of harmful pollutants that they produce. "We are an environmentally friendly technology company," Captain Herzer continued, "and propane is the absolute best alternative fuel solution we've found so far."
