Jim Willett, Cataract Steel's product manager over the Company's shell and tube manufacturing division, has been appointed to serve on the TEMA technical committee.

"Our people bring significant expertise to the table, and this is another step we've taken to increase market share and provide value to our customers."

TEMA standards and software have achieved worldwide acceptance as the authority on shell and tube heat exchanger mechanical design. In order to be considered for TEMA membership, a company must have demonstrated years of continuous service in the manufacture, design and marketing of shell and tube heat exchangers.
