It’s Groundhog Day!

Reports say that good old Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter….we’ll see!

We’ve all seen the Bill Murray movie where he wakes up on the same day over and over again, on Groundhog Day. Sometimes we can all feel like that.

LD Davis has done an amazing job of incorporating variety into the company over the past 85 years of adhesive manufacturing. We of course have our staple products that we will constantly manufacture for many years to come: animal glue, hide glue, and liquid glue. All of these adhesive products are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and totally biodegradable. Eco-friendly animal glue always has been and will continue to be a staple of LD Davis Industries as long as we are around!

An animal glue manufacturing company doesn’t stick around for 85 successful years by accident. Besides continuing to manufacture our solid, steady animal glue products, our adhesive lab is always ready and willing to create a custom animal glue formulation for a new or difficult application. All of our animal glues and liquid glues are customizable for a number of different properties.

In addition, LD Davis is the major animal glue supplier for the bookbinding, packaging, and graphic arts industries in North America. However, we will never sell ourselves short and only serve those industries. We are constantly looking for and working with new industries that can use our existing animal glue products and formulations or maybe even use our products and materials in a new way. We love a challenge and love working to find new uses for our animal glue and its raw materials.

In addition to the animal glue and liquid glue products we manufacture, LD Davis distributes hot melt adhesives, fugitive glue, and PUR glues from other respected chemical companies such as HB Fuller and Ashland Chemical. We want to be able to provide the best possible product for our customers, and to do so we also want to provide a very large variety of adhesive products.

We hope your Groundhog Day is going better than Bill Murray’s, and encourage you to contact us for anything adhesive. Please leave a comment or communicate with us via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube
