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.
