LORD Corporation – a global leader in developing structural adhesives for industrial and automotive markets – has announced that Michael Verdi, Senior Technical Service Representative, Americas, will speak at the Northeast States Sign Association (NSSA) Sign Expo.
The meeting will be held Wednesday, April 25 at 9:45 a.m. at the TURF VALLEY Golf Resort and Conference Center in Ellicott City, Md. Verdi's topic is entitled "How to Effectively Utilize Structural Adhesives in the Sign Industry."
The usage of structural adhesives within the sign fabrication industry continues to increase steadily each year as new materials and designs are introduced, while cost and quality become more and more important.

Our 50 plus years of experience in developing adhesive solutions puts LORD in a unique position to create state-of-the-art products and procedures that expand the capabilities of the sign builder while enhancing quality and longevity," said Carl Lechner, Structural Adhesives Market Manager.
