Atelier 4 is pleased to announce the appointment of Stuart Sherrill to our Board of Directors, effective June 9, 2026.

Stuart brings nearly three decades of operational and industrial leadership to A4, most recently as Vice Chairman of SteelFab, Inc., one of the nation's largest structural steel fabrication companies. His background in complex supply chains, large-scale project management, and corporate governance makes him a significant addition as we enter a new phase of strategic growth.

With Stuart's appointment, the Atelier 4 Board expands to five directors.
