Larsen—originators of leading chemical bonding agents worldwide since 1952—celebrates 50th anniversary
Bonding agents for plaster and concrete were unheard of in the early 1950s, when Herbert Larsen, inventor, entrepreneur, and salesman, launched his company with a brand new category of building products. Heeding the demand from plasterers for a substance that would allow plastering over flat slab concrete construction, metal and even painted surfaces, Larsen produced a product that would give birth to modern bonding agents—Plaster-Weld®. Larsen's new bonding agent was an instant success with the trade, but Larsen wasn't finished. On the heels of Plaster-Weld®, Larsen saw an opportunity to expand his product line and meet a need for a stronger bonding agent for concrete. Weld-Crete® was introduced just six month after Plaster-Weld® in 1952. In less than two years, Herbert Larsen had created a new building products category and launched two flagship products that would carry his company well into the future.
Over the past 50 years, Herbert Larsen's original patented products have been reformulated to reflect advances in modern chemical science, but the commitment of his company, under the guidance of the Larsen family, to produce reliable products remained constant. Although today's Larsen products are industry standard ASTM tested and rated for tensile bond strength, flexural bond strength, shear bond strength and temperature range, the measure of true dependability is Larsen's half century of success in the field. Our reputation within the building trade has made Larsen the choice of quality-conscious construction professionals nationwide.
Whether it's Plaster-Weld®, the original "pink stuff" for bonding plaster to bare, painted and papered drywall or concrete, or Weld-Crete®, our premiere product for bonding concrete stucco, cement mixes and portland cement to virtually any structurally sound surface, Larsen products have remained the best in their market for the past fifty years because of one thing—they work.
