Oklahoma City-LSB Industries Inc. President and CEO Jack E. Golsen recently told The Daily Oklahoman that the company has just completed what is certainly going to be a record year for LSB in all respects. He said both core businesses – climate control equipment and industrial and agricultural chemicals – are market and technology leaders in their products. In addition, the company’s geothermal heat pump business has taken off as a green technology. “This business has grown dramatically over the last few years,” said Golsen. “We’ve had many local plant expansions, we’ve hired hundreds of new employees and we’re now a very major employer in Oklahoma City.” Moving into 2008, Golsen said the company is well-positioned to maintain its strong competitive position in its chosen markets. “This is a very gratifying position for us to be in because we’re heading into our 40th year as a publicly traded company,” he said.
