In the relatively short period of time since joining HEF, Shlok has demonstrated superior technical ability, problem solving skills, and leadership in support of our nitriding and PVD core technologies. He has proven himself to be a dedicated professional who will, per his nominators, further distinguish himself even beyond the borders of HEF. He spearheaded new application development for the company and customers with traditional case hardening technologies as well as working as a technical consultant to clients in developing heat treat specifications (salt bath FNC, PVD and DLC coatings). Shlok is a senior process engineer who not only supports the four sales engineers out of the Ohio office across multiple industries, but he also helps to support global colleagues for automotive projects that are developed domestically and implemented globally. He does it all with a professional and approachable demeanor.
