Leblanc, Inc. was a musical instruments manufacturing company based in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The company was a woodwind instrument manufacturer known mainly for its clarinets. In 2004 the firm was sold to Conn-Selmer, a division of Steinway Musical Instruments. As a result, Leblanc ceased to exist as an independent operation, becoming a brand.

The company manufactured and distributed a wide range of instruments – self produced or through its subsidiaries and brands– such as clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones and mouthpieces.

Nowadays, only clarinets are manufactured and sold under the Leblanc brand, offering a range from traditional to bass clarinets to contrabass and contralto clarinets.^[2]
