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.

Eco-Friendly Adhesive Products

L.D. Davis Industries manufactures a wide variety of protein-based glues and liquid water-based glues, which are all eco-friendly, completely non-toxic, and easily recyclable. Today, we’d like to feature our eco-friendly protein adhesive products, which are also commonly called animal glue or hide glue.

Protein Adhesive

Protein adhesives are a type of glue also referred to as animal glue or hide glue. They are also sometimes called “cake glue” due to its appearance in 9-10 lb “cakes” after production in a manufacturing facility. 

Quality adhesive manufacturing of protein adhesive, also known as gelatin based glue or natural glue is LD Davis’ number one job above all. The adhesive manufacturing process can be a complex one, but we like to explain it in a simple form so all of our clients and vendors can have knowledge of the protein adhesive manufacturing process.
