In 1985, life-long friends, Ted Rossell, a union sheet-metal worker, and Chuck Wallace, a local well driller, began Rose-wall Manufacturing, Incorporated. Using their experience, they knew that together they could make quality water tanks, sell them at an affordable price and provide great customer service. The first water tank made to sell was finished in early 1985, and it was sold to a local company. This water tank is still in full service today.
