About LORD Corporation

LORD Corporation is a U.S.-based technology and manufacturing company that develops adhesives, coatings, motion management devices, and sensing technologies for aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and industrial applications. LORD’s headquarters are based in Cary, North Carolina, and employs roughly 3,100 workers in 26 countries. LORD was originally founded by Hugh C. Lord in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 1924 to develop noise-reduction techniques in automobiles, which he thought were too loud. LORD was created to explore rubber-to-metal bonding to isolate and control shock, vibration, and noise. In the 1920s, General Electric used LORD manufactured mounts for trolley cars, while Lincoln and Nash motors used LORD engine mountings. In the 1940s, the LORD Manufacturing Company was incorporated, and supplied engine mounts for aircraft manufacturers, mountings for railroad cars and buses, and the first elastomeric transmission parts and engine isolators for helicopters. During the 1960s, LORD built new facilities in Pennsylvania to manufacture Chemlok adhesives and Chemglaze coating, and changed its name to LORD Corporation. Over the decades, LORD continued to open new facilities in both domestic and international locations, including Brazil, Japan, and China, and worked with The US Navy to develop elastomeric bearings for carrier-based aircraft. On April 29, 2019, it was announced that Parker Hannifin would be acquiring LORD Corporation for $3.675 billion dollars. The sale is currently undergoing regulatory approvals.
