Industrial Heating Magazine, in cooperation with the Metal Treating Institute and the MTI Educational Foundation, is excited to announce nominations are now open for the Commercial Heat Treater of the Year Award.
I invite you to nominate an MTI member company for the 2018 Commercial Heat Treater of the Year. You can nominate any company that you feel is qualified – including your own if you are a commercial heat treater. This honor will be given to one MTI commercial heat treating member that demonstrates that they are “making a positive impact on their community and the industry.”
The award, which will be presented at the 2018 Fall Meeting Awards Dinner in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 10, is based on the following criteria:
Quality Programs: Documenting the steps taken to establish a comprehensive quality program. The applicant will give specific examples of the programs in place, certifications already granted, and how the programs have improved their business.
Pollution/Hazardous Waste Control: Specifying the steps taken to minimize the effect of possible pollution or hazardous waste, whether through the purchase of equipment or through internal programs. A specific list of steps taken should be submitted.
Community Involvement/Leadership: Outlining the efforts taken to contribute to the surrounding community. The contribution can include volunteer, educational, or financial efforts.
The winner will receive a professionally designed plaque along with a minimum $3,000 donation, split between Industrial Heating Magazine and the MTI Educational Foundation, to be presented as a scholarship to a high school senior or college student pursuing a college degree in materials science or an apprenticeship program in heat treating. A press release profiling the winning company and scholarship recipient will be published in Industrial Heating Magazine.
