HANK ARTLIP TAPPED FOR COLLEGE OF FELLOWS

We are proud to announce that Hank Artlip, SMACNA Greater Chicago President and owner of Artlip & Sons, will be inducted into SMACNA’s College of Fellows later this year.

Hank got his start in the industry as a sheet metal apprentice at Local 265. He joined his father’s shop as a sheet metal mechanic and worked his way to head of the service department before he took over as president nearly 20 years ago. Before it became part of the SMACNA Greater Chicago merger, Hank was also president of the Northern Illinois SMACNA Chapter. Hank has been instrumental in elevating the sheet metal industry throughout his successful career.

As part of his position, Hank serves on a number of local committees, including involvement on the Local 265 Apprentice & Journeyman Education & Training Fund, the Local 265 Joint Arbitration Board and the Local 265 Labor-Management Cooperative Committee.

Membership in SMACNA’s College of Fellows is reserved for top industry professionals who have made significant contributions to advance the sheet metal industry, capping years of committed service and dedication. Congratulations, Hank!
