Wayne Grube Jr. built upon six decades of family manufacturing experience to help create SEAL Hemostatic Wound Spray as TEDCO invests in Baltimore innovation (BALTIMORE – August 4, 2026) — Behind BC3 Technologies’ projected 500% revenue growth, its FDA-cleared wound spray and a new $200,000 investment from TEDCO is a Baltimore family manufacturing story that began more than six decades ago. Wayne Grube Jr., the Black CEO and co-founder of Baltimore-based BC3 Technologies, did not enter the medical technology industry from nowhere. His father, Wayne Grube Sr., began working in the filling and packaging industry in 1964. After approximately 36 years in the business, the elder Grube founded Aerosol and Liquid Packaging—also known as A&L Packaging—in Baltimore in 2000. According to the company’s official history, Grube Sr. established the business partly because he wanted to leave a legacy for his children. That legacy now includes SEAL Hemostatic Wound Spray, an FDA-cleared aerosolized product designed to help control severe external bleeding before professional medical assistance arrives. Every can of SEAL is manufactured by the family’s Baltimore packaging company, according to reporting by the Baltimore Business Journal. What began with Wayne Grube Sr. entering the packaging industry in 1964 has evolved into a second-generation manufacturing and medical technology story more than 60 years in the making. Continuing the Family Business According to a public account from family member and journalist Bonnie Newman Davis, Wayne Grube Sr. died suddenly in 2009. His sons, Wayne Jr. and Lee Jay Jr., then helped continue the family business. Davis, who identified Wayne Sr. as her uncle and Jean Chavis Grube as her aunt, wrote that Jean maintained control of the company while her sons kept its operations moving. Wayne Jr. became vice president of Aerosol and Liquid Packaging, while Lee worked alongside him. Lee later became chief operating officer of BC3 Technologies. A&L is a full-service contract manufacturer capable of taking products through multiple stages of development and production. The company says its services include product development, material sourcing, chemical compounding, quality control, aerosol and liquid filling, bottling and packaging. It handles both small and large production runs and describes itself as an FDA-registered member of the National Association of Manufacturers. Wayne Jr.’s work inside the family business exposed him to aerosol manufacturing, chemistry, federal regulation, product development, consumer distribution and business-to-business retail. He has also publicly described experience developing personal-care products, cosmetics, laundry detergents, dietary supplements, hair sprays and dry shampoos. But after years of manufacturing products for other businesses, the brothers wanted to create something of their own. “My journey into founding BC3 Technologies was a natural progression from my background and experience at Aerosol and Liquid Packaging,” Grube said in a 2025 CityBiz interview. “Working alongside my brother Lee, BC3’s COO, at our family business, I realized we wanted to make something of our own that would be impactful.” That ambition became BC3 Technologies. Three Inventors, Three Areas of Expertise The creation of SEAL required more than aerosol-manufacturing experience. Grube partnered with Dr.…
