ADP Lemco

What ADP Lemco does

ADP Lemco, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Draper, Utah, is a US manufacturer of professional-grade gymnasium and visual display equipment for institutional buyers. The company operates two product divisions: Division 11 gymnasium equipment — ceiling- and wall-mounted basketball backstops, competition and recreational breakaway rims, ASTM impact-rated safety wall padding with custom school graphics, volleyball and pickleball post systems, motorized gym divider curtains, ceiling-mounted wrestling mat hoists, telescopic bleachers and fixed seating, hardwood and synthetic sports flooring, and folding/fixed cafeteria tables — and Division 10 visual display equipment, comprising porcelain enamel steel markerboards, fabric and cork tackboards, and trophy display cases with LED lighting. Products are engineered to meet ASTM, NFHS, and NCAA specifications and are manufactured entirely in the USA.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales of both divisions, supported by installation performed by its own trained crews (no subcontractors), an in-house parts department, and ongoing service, maintenance, and safety inspection contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; sales run through an in-house enterprise field sales team handling direct quote requests, formal institutional bidding, and architect/specification consultations across all 50 US states and 20 countries.

Customers are primarily K-12 school districts and colleges/universities, with secondary segments in municipal recreation centers, churches and community facilities, and professional sports organizations such as the Golden State Warriors' NBA-spec practice facility. Distribution is predominantly direct-to-institution, with one disclosed channel partnership — Mitchell Furniture — used to extend cafeteria table reach into a national furniture reseller. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes in the input data.
