Lith Film 2


Lith Film 2      By Mr. Bob Gumbinner


In 1976, the spiral coater became operational and the production of graphic arts films was started. Max Van Dam, who had worked for a company in western New Jersey that did photographic coating, was hired as the chief chemist. Henry Levy was having difficulty managing the work force so Stanley Eysmann, who lived in Scotch Plains about six miles from Clark, was put in charge of the operations. Next door to our building was a L’oreal plant. Our employees were permitted to purchase cosmetics from this plant at the same price as the L’oreal employees. I visited the Clark plant about once a month to make sure things were going smoothly and to chair the research meetings.
