The Shenango - Penn Mold Company was located on West Third Street on the site of the former Dover Boiler Works, in Dover, Ohio. The company produced fine metals and alloys and was one of only three companies in Tuscarawas County to receive the Army Navy E Award for exemplary production in aiding the country during World War II. Shenango Furnace Company, of Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, bought the Penn Mold and Manufacturing Company in Dover, Ohio in 1926 and used the blast furnace there to manufacture brass and centrifugal castings exclusively. The company began using the name Shenango-Penn Mold Company the same year. By the 1940s, the company had grown to become one of the country's largest producers of ingot molds. View on Ohio Memory.
