Carroll Technologies Group 30 Years in the Making

摘要

Thirty some years ago, enterprising young men on opposing sides of the West Virginia-Kentucky border began businesses in the basements of their respective modest homes unaware that one day, together, they were destined to become the leading providers of wireless underground communications and tracking systems as one of the industry's largest private distributors of mine safety supplies and equipment. In 1977 in Harlan, KY, Winston Carroll and his father, Ollie, started Carroll Engineering to repair mine phones. About the same time, across the border in Logan County, WV, John Evans, Glen White, and his son, Gary-former president of the West Virginia Coal Association and now head of International Resource Partners, a major Southern West Virginia coal producer-founded Delta Electric, Inc. to rebuild circuit breakers used in mining.
