It’s here!

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure starts tomorrow in Philadelphia. Our Social Media Manager, the second LD Davis Industries employee to walk in the 3-Day, begins her 60-mile trek across the Philadelphia area to help find a way to end breast cancer. With support from LD Davis Industries, North America’s premier book binding adhesive manufacturer and one of the largest hide glue suppliers, she has been training and fundraising to meet the $2,300 fundraising goal to walk in the 3-Day. In fact, she has surpassed the $2,300 minimum. For the past two years, our CFO, Michael Free, walked in the 3-Day with support from the book binding adhesive company. This support has extended to this year’s LD Davis Industries 3-Day walker.

Jeff Palmiter, an LD Davis animal glue veteran salesman, gave me a few minutes of his time to learn a little more about the company and about his history with LD Davis, North America’s premier animal glue manufacturer. Here is his story….

Hide Glue...and Community Service, Too!

L.D. Davis prides itself not only on its quality hide glue, or protein adhesive manufacturing, but also on serving the communities in which we live and work. The company has been involved in community service for many years, most recently supporting the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure for Breast Cancer. 

On this Day in History...

On September 15, 1978, 33 years ago today, Muhammad Ali won the world heavyweight boxing title by defeating Leon Spinks at a match in the Louisiana Superdome. This made him the first boxer to ever win the world heavyweight boxing title three times during his career. This huge victory catapulted him into the history books, as if the rest of his career hadn’t already done so. (Thanks to the History Channel for their coverage of this event!)
