Lodi, California.
Super Mold Corporation of Lodi, California, was a manufacturer of retread molds for tires. Established as a California corporation
in 1936, it traced its origins to a company of the same name that had started in Nevada eight years earlier. In 1966, the
corporation had an annual payroll of approximately three million dollars and employed more than four hundred men and women.
Super Mold Corporation dissolved in 1976, though loyal former employees perpetuated its memory through reunions and a written
company history.
The Super Mold Corporation Collection spans the years 1928 to 1990. It includes legal documents, corporate notices and briefs,
brochures, news stories, company magazines, and photographs, as well as recollections from company reunions and a written
account of its history.
