Former CEO WALTER H. FOSTER III, P.E., M.E., Mfg.E. We mourn the recent loss of our beloved CEO Walter Foster, III. Walter received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maine and attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute for his Master's Degree. Mr. Foster had proven managerial expertise and a demonstrated ability for providing creative solutions to difficult problems for both steam turbines and compressors. With over 25 years of award winning service with GE, Mr. Foster served as Manufacturing Engineer, Rotating Equipment Design Engineer, Senior Engineer for Turbine Design and Development, Manager of Drafting, and Business Growth Manager. His multifaceted background includes manufacturing design, quality control, NDT, drafting, product service, and parts sales. Mr. Foster had over 30 years of turbo-machinery experience. Mr. Foster also helped develop GE's current Turbine Rotor Welding Program, providing more flexible repair options to GE's customers. As a result, he increased the rotor repair business at GE's Bangor, Maine facility to over 100 steam turbine rotors annually, collecting a U.S. patent for rotor welding along the way. His passing is a loss to our industry and he will be missed. | Home Page | Design | Manufacturing | Operation | Officers |
