Superior Industries is an American manufacturing company. The company's eight divisions design, manufacture, market and sell bulk material handling conveyors, conveyor components, fuel tanks, fuel trucks, fuel trailers, petroleum equipment and precast concrete products.
The company traces its origins back to 1917 when Henry Schmidgall began manufacturing concrete products in Hancock, Minnesota.
Starting in 2008, Superior started acquiring several new companies. During this time, the company has grown its product and service divisions from two to eight and employees from 350 to more than 1,000. The acquisitions have helped Superior gain a reputation as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or industries:
“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked. When the time came, few men were found willing to lay down their lives in defense of what they knew to be wrong; they did not like that this should be their last act in this world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
