Each year, we speak with hundreds of businesses and manufacturers in regards to their hot melt needs.

Each year, we at L.D. Davis speak with hundreds of businesses and manufacturers in regards to their protein glue needs. Because so many of them are aware of our ninety year history on all things regarding protein glue, they sometimes ask us who are some of the other protein glue suppliers in the U.S.?

One of the first questions potential customers want to know when they call our company is: How much does your glue cost? 

When manufacturers consider switching glue vendors, cost is a top concern. Although this is a very difficult question to answer, I will try my best to explain some glue cost drivers. Simply put, you are shopping for a glue that will work properly without significantly driving up your costs. This sounds very straightforward but, believe it or not, there are many details we need to recommend the right glue. Each of these details may adjust the formula, and drive the glue cost (up or down).
