The executive team for HVT consists of Suresh Jhawar, named chief executive officer, who has 54 years of experience in the industry. He spent the first ten years of his career at IPSEN USA, holding positions of senior project engineer, manager engineering services, manager marketing services, and technical director of Heavy Equipment Division. Later, he assumed the role of vice president general manager at ABAR Corporation. In 1987 he joined G-M ENTERPRISES as a minority partner and became the sole owner in 2005 and oversaw its acquisition by NITREX of Canada. Jhawar earned BSc in physics, BSME in heat transfer & thermodynamics and a MBA in marketing.

Steve Turmala is one of the co-founders and will serve as HVT’s executive vice president of technology. He has thirty-five years of experience in the furnace industry, working with electrical and computer control systems. He actively seeks out and invents furnace control systems, with particular attention to reliability and early warning signs for malfunctions.

Jeffrey Taino is a co-founder and will serve as the executive vice president of engineering & R&D for HVT. He has over 30 years of industry experience, including design and equipment development for heat processing of zirconia tubes for nuclear energy.

Veena Jhawar will fill the role of chief operating officer and co-founder of HVT. She spent 25 years in her career at G-M Enterprises managing supply chain and operations. Veena has a master of science degree in economics. She is aware of the challenges of increasing costs for materials and the impact of tariffs on the industry, but she is ready to meet those challenges.

As HVT begins its operations, stay tuned for the announcement of a multi-million dollar agreement coming soon.

Aeronautic Motion Control Manufacturer Acquires Tempering Furnace

HTD Size-PR Logo

An aeronautic motion control manufacturer invested in a low-temperature vacuum furnace. The furnace operates up to 1380°F (750°C) with work zone dimensions of 24” x 24” x 36” and a load capacity 1750 lb. The furnace works for applications with process temperatures up to 1400°F and where product surface purity is required.

Managing Director
SECO/VACUUM TECHNOLOGIES, USA

The SECO/VACUUM Technologies furnace meets class 2 TUS requirements per AMS2750F - +/-10°F and is capable of nitrogen convection heating and cooling. The furnace can realize low-temperature processes under vacuum and in nitrogen convection. Cooling – the final stage of every heat treat cycle – is completed using an internal recirculation blower and an internal, water-cooled heat exchanger. In addition, the furnace has built-in software tools for monitoring and control.

“The type of heat treat equipment this customer has acquired from us demonstrates a significant bandwidth in our capability to meet a wide range of thermal processing needs," Piotr Zawistowski, managing director of SECO/VACUUM says. "We find this is fairly typical of aircraft OEMs and suppliers since the demands on their complex product range are not easily satisfied by a 'one-size-fits-all' solution.”

This is the fifth vacuum furnace for tempering, aging, and other processes supplied by SECO/WARWICK Group to the international aircraft controls manufacturer.
