Meet Rollin Bateman, Axis Blog Author and CEO

We’d like you to get to know us a little better, so every now and again I’ll introduce you to one of our employees here at Axis Products Hub.

I guess the best place to start is with me!

My background in design started while in high school when I took Mechanical Drawing and Design at Oneida County BOCES and continued with Mechanical Engineering Technology at Morrisville State College.

After training, I worked as a product Draftsman/Designer/Tester for a local sprayer manufacturer and later as an apprentice in a custom machine shop. When transitioning from designer to builder, I really learned the value of proper part design and blueprint detailing.

During this time I was also a proud member of US Army Reserves.  I trained at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to become a Combat Engineer, Range Instructor and Drill Sergeant.  After several years of service, I was selected to become an Instructor at the US Army Drill Sergeant Academy, where I stayed until I left the service as a Sergeant First Class, E-7.

Until Axis was created, I’ve been working at C&H Plastics since 1992, where I’ve worked in several departments including Quality Control, Tool/Mold Room and as Shift Supervisor for an out-plant assembly operation. In 1999, C&H decided to put me to work in the sales department to share my knowledge of injection molding and plastics with our customers.

Currently I’m CEO and Project Manager of Axis and the guy to reach regarding any of your sourcing and manufacturing projects in China. I can assist with designs, prototyping, manufacturing, and assembly. I’m here to work with you on your projects and can help you identify any potential problems early, which can save you a lot of money!

When I’m not helping customers, you might find me at home spending time with my family, out running 6 to 8 miles with some friends (hopefully more, depending on when you read this) and going to the gym trying to work off the joys of middle age. You may even catch me out flying one of the Karma drone or launching one of the custom made high power model rockets that I’ve designed and built over the years. I can also be found teaching martial arts as some of the local schools in the Utica, NY area.

Until next time,
Rollin
