The Corporation was formed in January 1991 by Lawrence B. Cohen as a manufacturer of unique proprietary metal organic adhesion promoters marketed worldwide to manufacturers of specialty rubbers, coatings, abrasives, adhesives, plastics, and similar specialty chemical end users. For its first two years the company confined its marketing activities to Taiwan, Korea, and Western Europe due to a post contractual obligation which precluded LBC from engaging in activities in the US market during this time. This marketing was achieved by entering into agreements with established distributors with whom LBC had long-standing prior relationships.
