ArtiFlex Manufacturing, LLC
Fuller’s grandfather, R.L. “Dick” Fuller, began the company in 1971, growing the company from one four-position roadwheel machine operating out of a trailer to the world's largest independent dynamic testing facility. Today, Darrell Fuller, Dick’s son and Ryan’s father, runs the company, introducing Ryan to the business while he was still in school. After graduating from high school, Fuller started out as a Lab Technician, eventually working in both the static and endurance testing labs. While employed at Standards Testing Labs, he also attended the University of Akron as a Fine Arts major prior to enlisting in the US Army Reserves in 2015. Since then, Fuller has been honorably discharged from the U.S. Army Reserves and has gone on to represent the company through the form of trade shows, SEMA & local chamber of commerce.
