The J-B Weld Company is an international company that produces epoxy products. The home office is based in Atlanta, Georgia. Also, J-B WELD is the name of their flagship product: a specialized, high-temperature epoxy adhesive for use in bonding materials together (''see below:'' J-B WELD epoxy). The company is noted for its advertisements showing engine block repair with J-B WELD. ==History== The company had its beginnings in 1969〔 "About J-B WELD Company", JBWELD.net, 2004, webpage: ( JBWELD-about ). 〕 in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Sam Bonham, at the time running a machine shop, discovered a way to create what he called a "tougher than steel" epoxy.〔 In 1968, Sam's future wife Mary persuaded him to sell his invention and found the J-B WELD Company. Sam died suddenly in 1989. He had commented before his death, "My life's dream is for J-B WELD to be all the way around the world, and for me to see an 18-wheeler load out of here with nothing but J-B WELD."〔 Within a year of his death, Mary had opened a European hub in London, England, internationalizing the J-B Weld company and the distribution of the product.〔 Initially, the company sold to automotive shops and jobbers in Texas.〔 The company now distributed its products though multiple retail channels including automotive chains, home improvement centers, hardware stores, and farm stores.〔 The company now does business in all states in the United States, and in 27 other countries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J-B Weld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
