AFC-Holcroft

Booth # 1827
Mike Coburn, Technical Sales

Why attend HEAT TREAT 2021? Three reasons: networking, technical sessions, and camaraderie. Networking allows multiple customers to visit us in one spot. It’s an opportunity to mingle with different disciplines such as engineering, purchasing, maintenance, and operations. Technical sessions are worth attending. Short and succinct, they speak to technical areas that are new to me. I not only want to be an expert on my own material, but I also want to understand other processes a customer might be engaged in. You can’t beat the camaraderie, whether it’s an opening night party or taking guests out to dinner. It builds strong relationships.
