Description
The Super Mold Corporation Collection affords insights into one of San Joaquin County's major manufacturing firms between its opening in 1936 and closing in 1976. The collection includes a variety of documents and photographs related to the company's administration and publicity, as well as an overview of its history and recollections from former employees.
Background
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.
