Henry Rowan founded Inductotherm, a manufacturer of induction melting systems for the metals industry.
[edit] Philanthropy
In spring 1992, Henry Rowan and his wife pledged $100 million to Glassboro State College, now renamed Rowan University in his honor. At the time it was the largest gift to a public college in the history of higher education. The school also has an engineering building named after him.
