Our History
FBC was formed in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania in 1968 with the acquisition of the M.M. Baddeley Company, a laundry and dry cleaning supply distributor, by Lad D. Hudac and L.W. Hitchcock, Jr. The chemicals distribution business grew rapidly, aided by the opening of the Lancaster, New York branch in 1973. Soon, new plants and offices were constructed in Mars, Pennsylvania in 1979 and significantly expanded in 1992 to include production facilities for the Asphalt Products Division. Growth of our Ohio customer base led to the construction of the Medina, Ohio plant nearly two decades later, including a rail siding.
In the course of nearly four decades, FBC鎶?product line has evolved in response to technological advances, changing customer needs and regulatory requirements. We stock an extensive array of specialty organics including silicones, resins, and surfactants as well as the required formulating aids. The Asphalt Division manufactures non-asbestos water and solvent based coatings to rigid specifications.
