t. Joseph Mold and Tool Co. is a well established facility in Michiana, having supplied the manufacturers of this region with a broad spectrum of tooling and precision machining since its foundation in 1987. At the heart of this enterprise is John Chabot, who began his formal training with a Tool and Die apprenticeship in 1973. After the completion of his apprenticeship John worked in 19 different Tool, Die, and Injection Mold fabricating facilities in the Michiana area. “He watched the good times come,” as the song goes. By 1987 John had accumulated sufficient skills to open his own facility, St. Joseph Mold and Tool Co., under the umbrella of Louroth Industries Corp. The late Louis Rothbauer was then the president of Louroth Industries.
