History

Founded in 1961, Roy Metal Finishing Company (RMF) is an industry-leader in highly-engineered corrosion-resistant metal finishing solutions that are both functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. RMF offers a wide range of technologies and services that
meet the most stringent performance requirements. RMF has been a family-owned company for most of its history, joining the Aalberts family of companies in September
2018.

Established in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1961, RMF was founded by Donald Roy who previously worked in the textile industry in the northeastern region of the US. Mr. Roy had the foresight to identify the need for a high-quality metal finishing company in the southeastern region of the US that was dedicated to providing superior quality and excellent customer service.

Looking back, it appears as if Mr. Roy’s decision to move to the southeast was a wise one. Today RMF is proud to serve over 350 customers in the transportation, agricultural, construction, appliance and industrial markets.
