- Levenger is a privately held specialty retail company owned by Steve and Lori Leveen. It was established in 1987 and as of November 2022, it was headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida. As of that date, it was led by its former chief marketing officer, now CEO, Margaret Moraskie. Levenger product components are “made under contract… in China, Hong, Taiwan, Germany and India” with “much of [its product] assembly… done in the United States.” Levenger order fulfillment and customer service operations are in Memphis, Tennessee, and all its customer service is handled at the company headquarters. Levenger’s products as of November 2022 include leather bags and briefbags, folios and other products to hold tablets and other personal electronics, fine writing instruments, and an extensive line of note-taking products, in particular its Circa® disc-binding notebooks. Levenger designs many of its products, with approximately 75% of its product line being proprietary. The company describes itself as a champion of Slow Tech. One example of the mix of old and new technologies, or dual technologies, is the company’s Shirt Pocket Briefcase®, introduced in 1992. Levenger CEO and co-founder Steve Leveen has aligned the company with the Conscious Capitalism movement. To that end, the company has created an initiative called Partnering for Good, which pays product-based royalties to nonprofit institutions whose missions are connected to reading or learning. Among these institutions are the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, The Boston Public Library, the Bodleian Library of Oxford University, and The Morgan Library and Museum. The initiative also links specific products with contributions to literacy programs. (en)
