These experienced executives join the 6K Additive leadership team during a pivotal period of expansion and strengthens the company's position as the dominant US producer of titanium, nickel and refractory metals serving the aerospace, medical and defense markets for alloys and AM powder.

Wolak brings a wealth of experience, having most recently excelled as the Financial Director for the Architectural Coatings division of PPG Industries, Inc., a multi-billion dollar business unit within the publicly-traded, $18 billion global manufacturer of paints, coatings and specialty materials. With a 16-year tenure at PPG, Jonathan held critical roles, including the Global Finance Director for the Packaging Coatings business unit and the Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, where he was instrumental in driving significant growth and amplifying earnings.

"I am delighted to welcome Nick and Jonathan to our executive team at 6K Additive. Each brings a unique blend of expertise, vision, and proven leadership that is not only impressive but essential for our customers as they look to secure domestic supply of critical materials like titanium and C103 both vital to our nation's defense," said Frank Roberts, President of 6K Additive. "Jonathan's financial acumen and strategic insights, coupled with Nicholas's exceptional track record of working with the defense primes and global organizations to drive commercial growth, align perfectly with our ambitious roadmap.
