As a glue manufacturer for the packaging and printing manufacturers, our team at LD Davis has the opportunity to work alongside top leaders and suppliers in the industry. 

Glue and paper often go hand-in-hand. In most cases, you won't come across one without the other.

After working on countless technical projects with our customers that involved glue to paper bonding analysis, we figured it was about time we take a closer look at one of the largest and best known paper manufacturers in the United States: Neenah Paper. 

Can glue really help to make your production line more profitable? Yes, of course. And we're not just saying that because we're glue fanatics!

At LD Davis, we make it a priority to help our customers run their business as efficiently, and profitably, as possible. To assist with that, our Technical team offers free glue audits to our customers. We recommend these audits on a regular basis (semi-annually or annually) to ensure that you are running your glue and gluing equipment at its fullest potential.
