Kellen Zollinger

South Bend, Indiana, 03/03/2025 – General Stamping & Metalworks (“GSM”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kellen Zollinger as its new CFO, effective March 3, 2025.

Kellen joins GSM with a wealth of leadership experience, having held positions of increasing responsibility with Whirlpool, CTB Brock Grain Systems, and Patrick Industries.  His experience with these companies, along with his impressive educational background, a graduate of Brigham Young University – Idaho, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and Economics, and Brigham Young University where he earned a Master of Business Administration degree in General Management and International Business, will enable him to support our efforts to grow profitably while maintaining the integrity of our processes and reporting metrics.

Kellen succeeds John M. Ryal, who retired on Friday, 28, 2025. Over the last three months, Kellen has worked closely with John to successfully assume the reins of GSM’s Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, IT, Purchasing, and administrative departments.

John Marshall, current GSM President, shared his thoughts as Kellen officially assumes responsibility for a large portion of GSM’s functional operations: “I am excited to welcome Kellen Zollinger to the General Stamping & Metalworks family as our new CFO,” said Marshall. “In his short time with GSM, Kellen has already demonstrated the knowledge and passion that we need to move GSM to the next level, and I look forward to working alongside him in the years ahead.”
