Heat Treat Today is privileged to oversee the 40 Under 40 recognition awards highlighting a group of young, up-and-coming talent in the North American heat treat industry every year. This year’s Class of 2019 is no disappointment–a group of industry elite, significant contributors to the heat treat market.
Every couple of weeks we highlight two of the current class of recipients. This week we introduce Chris Davidson of Super Systems, Inc. and Shlok Sundaresh of HEF USA.
Name: Chris Davidson
Company: Super Systems, Inc.
Position: Senior Projects Engineer
Chris has succeeded on every level which he has been assigned to. He works extremely well with his coworkers, and his jobs are always completed in a timely manner resulting in the highest respect from our customers.

Name: Shlok Sundaresh
Company: HEF USA
Position: Sr. Process Engineer
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 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.
