PTDA Foundation presents Robert K. Callahan Future Leaders Award to Hafeez Hameer
Hafeez Hameer of Garlock Sealing Technologies has been recognized as the second recipient of the Robert K. Callahan Future Leaders Award.
Hafeez currently serves as business development manager, Garlock Sealing Technologies –KLOZURE® Seals, a role he assumed in early 2022. His industry peers describe him as someone who “leads with integrity, excitement, and sincerity at Garlock and the PTDA Foundation.” He is not afraid to try new and innovative ideas and presents his well-thought-out ideas with enthusiasm and logic. Hafeez’s self-proclaimed fulfillment lies in building connections with people, opportunities, and products—earmarks of a true leader.
Hameer began his career in the power transmissions/motion control (PT/MC) industry in 2014, joining now Freudenberg-NOK as a national account manager for North America. Hafeez’s strong
business ethics, hard work, and relationship-building resulted in double-digit sales growth for the company over several years. He was instrumental in implementing data cleansing/analytics
market analysis and new products initiatives with one of the largest distributors, also resulting in increased sales.
Hafeez demonstrates a dedication and desire to better the PT/MC industry. He speaks with passion about making the industry more accessible to those who may not know about it and improving it for those who currently work in it. Hafeez is an avid supporter and promoter of the industry and currently serves as a Vice President of the PTDA Foundation Board of Trustees.
The Robert K. Callahan Future Leaders Award was established in 2021. Its namesake—past PTDA Foundation president and 25-year PTDA Foundation Trustee Bob Callahan (formerly of SENQCIA MAXCO LLC)—passed away in 2021. In recognition of Bob’s commitment to advancing new talent within the PT/MC industry, the PTDA Foundation established this award to recognize a young leader who exhibits a true passion for and desire to grow within the industry. The first award was bestowed in October 2021.
