Dear MTI Members,

Congratulations and thanks to 2015 MTI President, Jackie Peters from Peters’ Heat Treating, and her board for their efforts and hard work that led to a very successful year.

As a former commercial heat treater, and now as a supplier, I have been part of the thermal processing industry for more than 20 years, and I am honored to serve as the new President of the Metal Treating Institute (MTI). I look forward to continuing MTI’s tradition of enhancing the industry and moving it forward.

Over the next 12 months, it will be important to focus on industry innovation and evolving technology, as well as how the economy will impact the industry. MTI’s mission is to provide industry professionals with resources for:

  • Protecting the way you do business
  • Increasing employee effectiveness through quality training
  • Helping you control your costs through financial benchmarking
  • Connecting you with industry professionals via face-to-face and online networking
  • Analyzing trends and forecasting sales through industry insights
  • Supporting your teams in the areas of quality, technical support and safety

MTI’s strength lies in its members who volunteer their time and resources as part of committees and task forces, as well as those who participate in our Board of Trustees, all serving to enhance the foundation and growth of the heat-treating industry.

Thank you to all of our members for your support in strengthening our industry. I hope you will continue to help us make a difference by being involved in MTI’s programs, meetings and volunteer opportunities throughout 2016. Individually we are strong, but together we are powerful.

I also hope to see you at MTI’s Spring Meeting, which will take place in April 2016 at the South Seas Resort in Captiva Island, Florida. This meeting will feature sessions that focus on various industry trends and business needs.

For more details on MTI, as well as the Spring Meeting and other programs/services, visit our website at www.heattreat.net, or contact us at 904-249-0448 or email info@heattreat.net.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve this great industry. I look forward to another exciting year for MTI.

Wishing you all the best in 2016,

 

Pat McKenna – 2016 MTI President
