Products
Leoni made all cables and powercords for Dell and Gateway 2000 during the dot-com boom of the 1990s in their plant in Birr, Offaly, Ireland, which was then moved to Slovakia.[citation needed]
In Stryi and Kolomyia, both in Ukraine, the company produces wiring systems for the automotive industry. In 2022, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, production at these sites was halted, causing widespread production stops at European automobile factories.[1][3]
