Locust Valley, NY, April 12, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Larry H. Jacobs of Locust Valley, New York has been
honored as a Lifetime Member by Strathmore's Who's Who Worldwide Edition for his outstanding
contributions and achievements for 63 years in the button manufacturing field.
In addition to the New York location, Mr. Jacobs has developed additional locations in Connecticut,
Hong Kong, Shanghai, China, New Delhi, India, Santiago and San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican
Republic and Central America. The Connecticut office is over 100,000 square feet and is both a large
manufacturing plant and sales office. The locations in China and New Delhi are also manufacturing
plants. The other locations out of the U.S. are sales offices only and there are additional sales offices
throughout the U.S. Mr. Jacobs travels to all of these locations, recently making his 93rd trip to the
Orient. This has enhanced the company's international reputation, and all locations are operated with the
same ethical and moral standards that they adhere to in the U.S. Emsig sells approximately 40 million
buttons weekly for manufacturers worldwide, in addition to the military buttons produced for the U.S.
Armed Services. They are dedicated to the safety of the environment and the well-being of their
employees. The Connecticut warehouse has made great strides in going green by upgrading their
electrical system, cutting their electrical use in half and running on a lean-manufacturing management
operational program that no other button manufacturer has done. They have also introduced the world's
first 100% recycled product line, comprised of over 50,000 pounds of former waste materials. They also
created an "unbreakable button" named the Super-Durable button which is the leader in this product.
Mr. Jacobs is the Founder and Former First President of the American Manufacturing Button Association
and is affiliated with the American Apparel Association. He received the Pollution Prevention Award
from the New York State Governor in 1996. Emsig was featured on the World's Greatest television

show.
Born on February 7 in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Jacobs attended college. He is married to Pearl and they
have three daughters. In his spare time, he enjoys family activities, old cars, gardening, parasailing, and
volunteering.
Mr. Jacobs states in conclusion to his very dedicated and balanced life in work and at home, The lessons
I have learned are true for anyone in any field of business: love what you're doing; dedicate yourself to
what you are doing; and never be afraid of hard work. But most importantly, love your family and make
sure you have their support in what you're doing. Always work as hard as you can and give back to
society as much as you can. We make a difference.
