Adhesives and Packaging

A recent article from Food and Beverage Packaging Magazine on December 5, 2011 spoke about packaging adhesives turning greener to follow the trend of the packaging industry.  The article says that the packaging industry as a whole is farther ahead of the adhesives industry in terms of environmental matters.  However, it brings up an important point about the role adhesives play in packaging sustainability.

LD Davis has been manufacturing animal glue, also known as hide glue or protein glue for over nine decades in the United States.  

Increasing raw material costs for adhesive over the past few years has been a challenge for animal glue manufacturers as well as distributors of products such as hot melt adhesives. 

Building Life Long Bonds at LD Davis

LD Davis Industries prides itself on “building life long bonds.”  These bonds are built with raw material suppliers so we can make sure we can always supply our customers with the products they need, when they need them.  These bonds are built with customers and create two-way loyalty to maintain lasting business relationships.  These bonds are also built with L.D. Davis staff members; the animal glue manufacturing company values its staff and many employees have been working for LD Davis for 10, 15, or even 20 plus years.  We must be doing something right besides making quality animal glue!
