About LORD Corporation

LORD Corporation is a diversified technology and manufacturing company that manufactures adhesives, coatings, motion management devices, and sensing technologies. The company operates in industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and industrial. LORD is headquartered in Cary, North Carolina and has more than 3,000 employees in over 25 countries.

The company was founded in 1924 by Hugh C. Lord in Erie, Pennsylvania with the intention of developing noise-reduction techniques for automobiles. The company was created to explore rubber-metal bonding to insulate and control shock, vibration, and noise caused by the normal operation of automobiles. In the 1920s, LORD mounts were used by General Electric, Lincoln, and Nash Motors. During the 1940s, LORD Manufacturing Company was incorporated and began supplying engine mounts for aircraft manufacturers, mountings for railroad cars and buses, and elastomeric transmission components for engine isolators and helicopters.

In the 1960s, the company built new facilities to manufacture Chemlok adhesives and Chemglaze coating. It was around this time the company changed its name to LORD Corporation. From then until now, LORD continued to grow and open new facilities domestically and internationally, including in Brazil, Japan, and China. In April of 2019, LORD Corporation was acquired by Parker Hannifin for a price of 3.7 billion dollars.
