J. Leek Associates, Inc. was formed in 1990 as a technical services organization providing strategic quality assurance systems in the food and beverage industry. Our experience in analyzing food products spans the global market. From a humble beginning in Southwest Georgia, USA, our business has grown to include locations in Argentina, Brazil, and China.

JLA Argentina was formed in 1997 to meet ever-growing analytical needs in South America, followed by the creation of JLA China in 2003 and JLA Brazil in 2005. Altogether we have six Integrated Independent Member Companies located in these countries and the USA. Although they share resources, each one is its own separate company.
