History of Leach

We at Leech Products are proud of our heritage. Leech had its beginning back in 1930 when G.C. Hilton, a pioneer in the adhesive industry began by mixing a simple batch of glue and selling it to small country stores in mid America.

The company slogan "Sticks Like a Leech" was used from the start by the early founder who had experienced the sticking quality of a real leech in a swimming hole back home in Virginia.

Today, Leech Products manufactures and distributes a complete line of over 40 different adhesives, sealants and caulks for industrial, construction and home use. The products are now sold nationwide through a network of distributors.

Fifty years after a simple and humble beginning, Leech Products is proudly experiencing sound and unprecedented growth toward the future.
