From starting as a metallurgist with a large tier 1 supplier, to running a commercial heat treat plant with a large commercial heat treater, Mike has developed a wide range of experience in the heat treating industry. He is now on the OEM side making a difference in equipment design for our customers. During Mike’s past employment he has helped implement a global ERP system across multiple facilities in multiple countries and has led the charge in launching a brownfield facility, changing it over as a facility for conventional heat treating processes to highly technical precision nitriding processes. Within the company, Mike has standardized capital quoting processes for higher accuracy and efficiency and is now doing the same for the engineering department. Instrumental in the development of Gasbarre's precision nitriding equipment, he is able to ensure the end user’s daily interaction with the equipment is accounted for in the design. Mike completed his MBA from Walsh College in 2017 and the MTI YES program in 2019; he presented on “Furnaces for Gas Nitriding and Nitrocarburizing” at the 2018 FNA show.
