Durgesh Singh of Magswitch Technologies is the recipient of the 2024 SMU NexGen Leadership Award.
The NexGen Leadership Award, sponsored by the Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) and Modern Metals and now in its sixth consecutive year, is awarded to an emerging leader within the greater steel community.
Singh was presented with the award at the SMU Steel Summit 2024 conference in Atlanta on Tuesday. As COO of Superior, Colo.-based Magswitch Technologies, Singh has over a decade of experience in management and operations.
Nicola Coslett, CEO of CRU Communities; Philip K. Bell, president of SMA; and Michael D’Alexander, publisher of Modern Metals magazine, presented him with the award.
SMU congratulates Singh and the award’s other finalists, Braden Halley of Priefert and Gilberto Padilla of Andes Coil Processors, for their contributions to the industry and for being recognized as upcoming leaders in the next generation of steel.
