Mark Hemsath. The global heat treatment industry is certainly family based with many entering the profession because their fathers or grandfathers were in the business. A perfect example of this would be Mr. Mark Hemsath of the US who followed in his father’s very impressive footsteps with a notable career in the industry most recently with heat treatment and equipment supplier Nitrex. Our understanding is that Mark recently has been tasked with running sales for both the Nitrex global equipment section as well as Heat Treating Services. We offer him a very hearty congratulations.

Brian C Taylor 1929-2022. Earlier in this update we spoke of the heat treating industry as being a “family affair”-this is a perfect example. Texas, USA is an enormous market for captive and commercial heat treaters with many a heat treater related. Brian Taylor has been involved in heat treating for many years, most recently at National Heat Treat in Houston, Texas where he is Business Development Manager. We regret to say that his father Brian C Taylor just passed away. Brian Senior spent his entire working life in heat treating eventually owning B & B Heat Treating in North Houston, Texas. Brian Senior was known by many still involved in the Texas heat treatment industry.Did you like this article? Click here to subscribe to The Monty.
