Our History

​​Rollmeister was formed in 1994 to service the paper industry, with quality, timely deliveries and fair pricing for grinding and mechanical repairs of paper machine rolls. Rick Waller, owner of Rollmeister started his career in 1963 with Beloit Corporation in Beloit, WI. Rick worked his way up through various management positions and in 1979 was assigned the responsibility of starting the metals division at the Beloit Manhattan plant in Neenah, WI. Rick left Beloit Manhattan Corporation in 1989 to join Sulzer, Escher, and Wyss as general manager in their Austell, Georgia facility.

In January, 2026, Rollmeister was acquired by Packaging Corporation of America.
