Exploria marks 10 years
in Hartford
Company president says capital city is the place to be
Leo Herbette, president of Exploria, a visual communications company on the rise in Hartford, believes communication is at the heart of every business activity. Communicating clearly and dynamically, he says, is one necessary element for being successful in that business activity. And he built his company on that philosophy.

What began 10 years ago as a 3D computer animation studio, specializing in pharmaceutical and medical animation, has evolved into a resource for Fortune 500 companies throughout the country. Exploria is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in Hartford this June by moving from New Park Avenue into new downtown office space at one of the city’s prime locations: a brownstone on the corner of Trumbull and Asylum Streets.

Herbette said he had considered moving out of the city, but, after working with HEDC, he realized Hartford has too much to offer now, and the future as he sees it looks even brighter.
“Hartford provides a central location, access to resources and the setting of Connecticut’s capital city,” he said. “In downtown Hartford, I can positively position my company and draw upon many valuable resources that wouldn’t be available in a suburban environment.”
