Even after the company was converted into a stock corporation, Leffers AG, the company remained family-owned. The other brothers Georg Leffers and August Leffers founded another branch of the company in Wilhelmshaven in 1902.
From August 1919 to 1925, with an interruption from 1920 to 1922, he was a member of the Oldenburg state parliament . He was followed from 1925 to 1928 by his brother Carl Leffers as a member of the state parliament.
