ROSEN USA Vice President and Executive General Manager Chris Yoxall said “Mr Lewis shows no signs of slowing down. He is as active today, at 84, as he was a decade ago. He maintains a travel schedule that would exhaust even the youngest of sales people.”

A company-wide anniversary

Mr Lewis was instrumental in bringing the ROSEN Group’s in-line inspection technology to the United States. During his time at Ford, Bacon and Davis he met a German engineer, Hermann Rosen, who had a new technology that showed a lot of promise.

This has resulted in ROSEN USA celebrating its 21st anniversary operating as an independent company of the ROSEN Group.

The ROSEN Group, a privately-held and family-owned company established in 1981 by Mr Hermann Rosen, has been bringing innovative inspection technologies to the oil and gas pipeline industry for 30 years.

The company’s strong commitment to research and development over the last three decades has ensured it continuously provides the most accurate, reliable and advanced inspection technologies.
