Del & Kathleen Latham

Founders

Along with Kathleen's nursing background, Del pulled on his pharmaceutical sales experience, and started Roll Products in 1976 selling to mostly medical and library supply companies. Moving the company to Kansas together in 1987, they expanded RPI's markets, creating innovative products and solutions until Del's passing in April, 2017, and Kathleen's in April, 2019. Their values live on every day at Roll Products.

THE RPI TEAM

Andrew Latham

Co-Owner

Like the rest of Del and Kathleen’s 7 children, Andrew’s summers growing up & all through college were spent at the packaging stations, rewinders, and tape slitters of RPI. After graduating from Kansas State, starting a business, and gathering expertise in marketing, sales, and customer support, he returned to the company full-time in 2008. He took over as President in 2016, operating from RPI’s southwest location in Phoenix.

Joe Thomas

Co-Owner

Joe has been a family friend years before he was in the business. Prior to accepting his role as Operations Manager in early 2016, he spent nearly a decade in management of a local Inc. 5000 business, helping it grow from the ground up. His experience lends professional, customer-centered growth to RPI. He became a co-owner of Roll Products, along with Andrew, in November, 2021.

OUR CULTURE

Not just a place to work.

An organization with a 

specific mission and culture.

Roll Products is a company that serves international clients, while staying true to its small-town roots in the Midwest, USA.

Our company goals were dictated by our founder, have been set by our president, and are reinforced by the experiences of our employees – some of whom have been with us since we moved our company to Kansas 3 decades ago!

The RPI culture starts at the top with our management team, and is reflected by each of our employees — all of whom we are privileged to work with every day. We strive to do what we can as a company to allow them to feel the same way!

What does this mean for you, our customers? Simply, a good culture leads to good work, consistently excellent products, and tremendous customer service. A smile and a little positivity can go a long way – even with just labels and tape.
