In the North American heat treat industry Mr. Mark Podob is a very well known fellow both for his time with furnace builder Ipsen and subsequently as owner of Metlab Heat Treat in Wyndmoor, PA, USA-a commercial heat treat which had the distinction of having the largest commercially available pit carburizing furnaces in North America. Unfortunately, Metlab closed down last year at which point we lost track of Mark. Fear not though we have now found Mark. Turns out that he is now Director of Sales and Marketing at commercial heat treat Vacu Braze in Quakertown, PA.

Want to know more about Mark? Two years ago, Mark discussed “Ultra Large Gear Carburizing” with Mr. Carlos Torres on the “Heat Treat Podcast”, a discussion which can still be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7JiXwaip-U
