Training

Made a good investment of time and funds by attending The Heat Treat Boot Camp held last week in Pittsburgh, PA with thorough presentations given by Doug Glenn, Founder/Owner/Publisher of Heat Treat Today and Thomas Wingens, President of Wingens Consultants. Subjects included Market & End Products, Heat Treat Processes & Materials and Heat Treat Industry Players (Equipment and Components Manufacturers with over 40 members in attendance). Numerous opportunities availed themselves to discuss potential ADSORPTION APPLICATIONS for Gas Recovery, Purification and Recyle.

Thank you for taking good care of one of our new employees, Jalen Dennis, at the Heat Treat Bootcamp.
He said he really enjoyed it and learned a lot. As soon as he returned, he said he’d like to take part in more training. It’s encouraging that his time at Heat Treat Bootcamp inspired him to pursue more knowledge to further his career.
