Leila’s Journey at Weber Knapp

Leila Bell joined Weber Knapp almost 20 years ago. She was drawn to the company’s focus on teamwork and its reputation for building long-term customer relationships. What started as an opportunity to learn quickly became a career centered on collaboration. 

Her responsibilities have grown steadily through the years. She’s played a part in shaping how Weber Knapp approaches both sales and marketing. Each new challenge has helped her strengthen communication between departments and refine the customer experience.

Leila’s success comes from the way she listens. She focuses on understanding what customers need and works closely with every team involved. That attention to detail has made her a steady presence and a trusted partner for the clients she serves.

Building Connections That Keep Weber Knapp Growing

Sales and marketing touch nearly every part of Weber Knapp. The work depends on communication, coordination, and the ability to connect people who share the same goal.

Each day brings something different. Leila may spend time:

• Meeting with customers to discuss upcoming projects
• Coordinating with production and engineering to align goals
• Reviewing proposals and timelines
• Supporting marketing efforts that highlight Weber Knapp’s motion control and hinge solutions

The variety keeps her engaged. Every task contributes to the same purpose – building relationships that strengthen the company and support its continued growth.

Finding Opportunity in Every Challenge

Sales and marketing move fast. Customer needs shift, and new projects appear almost every day. For Leila, the pace is part of what makes her work meaningful.

“There are no typical days in sales,” she says. “One minute I might be discussing shipping dates with Operations, and the next I’m meeting with a customer about a project we’re working on together.”

Her projects often involve Weber Knapp’s hinge assemblies and motion control systems, which are designed to meet the unique needs of each customer. Each collaboration gives her a chance to find creative solutions and keep projects moving.

It’s a rhythm that depends on focus, teamwork, and adaptability – strengths Leila has built through nearly two decades at Weber Knapp.

A Culture Built on Teamwork and Trust

“I am most proud of being a founding member of our Business Development Team. In 2017, the Director of Design Engineering and I worked together to create a team made up of representatives from different departments within the organization.”

That team spirit continues to define how Leila approaches her work today. Collaboration between departments drives innovation and helps Weber Knapp grow.

“Our team works diligently to improve existing products, imagine and design new products, research new markets, and bring our products to life with working demos for trade show exhibitions,” she says.

Her words show exactly what keeps Weber Knapp strong: people working together toward shared success.

Leading by Example

“The people. Not only am I lucky enough to work with some truly wonderful people, I also get to meet new people all the time.”

That focus on connection has shaped nearly everything about Leila’s career at Weber Knapp. It’s what drives her work and keeps every day rewarding.

When asked what makes the company stand out, she didn’t hesitate: “Hands down it’s the company culture. So many places claim to be one big family, but at Weber Knapp, it’s true.”

Her words reflect what long-time employees across the company often say – that shared respect and teamwork are what make Weber Knapp feel like home.
