History

A classic case of the American dream come true, Leapers, Inc was founded on May 8th, 1992 in Canton, Michigan by Tai-Lai (Tina) Ding and Dung-Ju (David) Ding [7].

David Ding, a former Taiwanese police officer, went with his wife Tina to America when she enrolled The University of Chicago for a Masters degree.

David spoke no English initially, but learned programming and machining fairly quickly while working at Ford Motor Company.

[9]

Their first product was a 4X28 compact scope but now they have a 150,000 ft 2 complex in Livonia, Michigan where they make a variety of products.

Some of them are imported, usually from China, while their Made-in-USA UTG PRO line is made in the United States of America.
