The History of Mold-Tech: Commercial chemical texturization(TM) is an art and science that combines the skill of trained artisans and the sciences of chemistry and metallurgy. The commercial chemical texturing industry was born in 1955 in Youngstown, Ohio with the founding of Decorative Media, Inc. by William J. Gutknecht, a local entrepreneur and artist. This company was a spin off from Youngstown Arc Engraving Company, a copper plate engraving enterprise owned by Gutknecht and dedicated to the production of commercial art and photo engraving copper printing plates. Decorative Media was disbanded in the late 1950’s and a new company, Roll, Die & Mold Decorators was formed to succeed it. The mold & die texturing side of the business evolved by combining their knowledge of the decal transfer technology utilized to decorate chinaware with etching know-how developed to engrave decorative textures into the surface of steel coining rolls. Roll, Die gained the chinaware decal knowledge from Shenango China, another of Arc Engraving’s customers. In 1962, Roll, Die & Mold was issued U.S. Patent #3,052,581 which taught a method for producing embossed designs in an injection mold. In 1966, Standex International (NYSE), a diversified manufacturer serving the Food Service, Industrial and Consumer products markets, acquired Roll, Die & Mold and changed the name to Mold-Tech.
