H. Roger Rowley
Roger started Microtap USA in 1996 operating alongside Photo-Tron Corporation, his electronics business formed in 1978. His training in electronic studies at Lawrence Institute of Technology and then as a controls designer, combined with product development at Photo-Tron, made Microtap a natural fit. Already familiar with working in Europe, Africa, and South America the world market of tribology gave Roger another avenue to satisfy his thirst for adventure travel. Pins on the world map in his office show seventy countries on six continents where he has visited or sold tapping torque equipment. On site installation and training from Microtap USA is not just a policy but his way of mixing business with pleasure. If there comes a market in Antarctica, please advise.
