2023 Heat Treat Today’s 40 Under 40 Honorable Mentions
The privilege of unveiling the Heat Treat Today 40 Under 40 Class of 2023 comes with the reality that not every one of the nominees could be included in the final count; even though each young, up-and-coming, talented heat treating professional whose name was submitted is making a significant difference in their field.
The individuals pictured are those we acknowledge in 2023 for their contribution to their company, their dedication of service to their customers, and their commitment to pursue skills and knowledge to further contribute to their field.
