About Roll Technology

In 1972 Lewis Walker Sr. founded Roll Technology in Greenville, South Carolina. Following his distinguished tour of duty commanding submarine chasers in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II, he joined Chromium Corporation of America in Connecticut. In 1952 he became president of U.S. Metal Coatings in New Jersey. After a merger of that company in the late 1960's and doing some consulting work, he moved to the Southeast to start his new operation.

Lewis Walker III, his eldest son, joined him the same year after finishing college and a Naval tour of duty. Lew became president when his father retired in 1987, then Chairman of the Board in 1994. Mr. Walker passed away in 2006, just shy of his 90th birthday.
