  • Chairman – Samuel Scott Jackson

    Chairman – Samuel Scott Jackson

    My leadership philosophy is built around three core principles:  

    • Vision and mission.   I enjoy sharing my vision and thoughts for accomplishing the mission with the Board of Directors and other equity members, but I also place great value on the feedback and thoughts of other team members.  I have learned that my way is not always the best, so I listen often.
    • Freedom of action. Training and empowering others and giving them freedom of action builds confidence, durability, and a stronger partnership. 
    • Responsibility. By allowing freedom of action, team members understand that they are responsible for their decisions and actions, and will be held accountable by other equity members and the Board of Directors.  We all work together to keep everyone accountable.
  • Purpose

    Purpose

    We exist to develop resilient communities.


    For us, resilience is more than durability—it’s about designing infrastructure that stands up to the pressures of time, environment, and evolving human needs. We achieve this through high-performance, eco-conscious building materials that empower both people and places.

    Creating stakeholder value means:

    • Delivering consistent ROI through smart supply chain innovation
    • Meeting the long-term needs of government buyers, developers, and communities
    • Enhancing the quality of life through sustainable, safe, and scalable construction

    Our work helps shape communities that can weather natural disasters, economic shifts, and population growth—with systems and structures that adapt and endure.

    Whether we’re supplying prefabricated aluminum frames or advising on sustainable material sourcing, Artius ensures every touchpoint reflects resilience, reliability, and forward-thinking leadership.

    We set the standard—because our partners and communities deserve nothing less.

  • Vision

    Vision

    Global accelerator of affordable, eco-friendly building materials


    This isn’t just a strategic direction—it’s a movement we’re leading.

    We recognize that access to sustainable building materials should not be a privilege of the few, but a global standard for the many. That’s why Artius is actively expanding its reach—partnering with manufacturers, innovators, and governments across continents to scale solutions that are both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.


    To accelerate means we act with urgency:

    • We fast-track access to cutting-edge materials in underserved markets.
    • We break down economic and logistical barriers to eco-conscious construction.
    • We enable rapid deployment of modular, prefabricated systems that save time, money, and the planet.


    As the demand for climate-resilient infrastructure rises worldwide, Artius is committed to delivering building systems that are:

    • Affordable for developing economies
    • Adaptable to local and global needs
    • Anchored in sustainability, from source to site


    Our goal is bold but necessary: democratize sustainable construction and help reshape communities from the ground up—whether in emerging cities, rural townships, or climate-vulnerable regions.

    We don’t just supply materials.
    We ignite progress.
    We build better—globally.
