What Is “40 Under 40″?
There are many young folks in the North American heat treat industry who are giving their time, talent, and education to making the industry a better place to work. But who are they? Help us recognize them.
The Heat Treat Today 40 Under 40 initiative is an opportunity for the heat treat community to give loud applause to the ladies and gentlemen rising up as leaders in the North American heat treat industry.
We are honored to conduct this recognition for the eighth year in a row. We need your help to locate the hidden heat treaters who don’t step out on their own behalf; who work in shops, hidden within in-house heat treat operations; and who are outside of our connections. We want to hear from YOU to know who you think is a rising young leader in the North American heat treat industry. Perhaps it is you!
