Sample Board and Cases

LD Davis has manufactured a wide variety of adhesives for over 85 years, including animal glue, protein adhesives, hide glue and liquid glue. Our adhesives are used in a large variety of industries and for many different applications. One common use of L.D. Davis adhesives is in the manufacturing of sample boards and cases, for example, for displays in retail stores and at trade shows for certain companies.

 Gelatin is a very important part of the manufacturing process at LD Davis. Since we started manufacturing protein glue (hide glue), gelatin has been a major raw material aiding in our glue manufacturing process.

Building Life-Long Bonds

L.D. Davis Industries invited back our retired COO, Norb Kroeger, retired VP of Sales, Ken Moye, and retired National Accounts Manager, Dave McCalla, to our animal glue manufacturing facility in Monroe, NC to celebrate their seventieth birthdays with their former colleagues and life-long friends from L.D. Davis. Norb, Ken, and Dave each spent over 20 years working for L.D. Davis starting in 1985 and ending in 2008. They helped L.D. Davis more than double in annual revenue during their working careers at the company.

87 Years of Quality Adhesive Manufacturing

With Thanksgiving right around the corner we have a lot to be thankful for. We are thankful for the successful years we have had as we approach our 87^th year at L.D. Davis.
