ARI is proud to celebrate the recognition of our President and Co-Owner, Sheri Livingston Kitchen , in San Antonio Woman magazine’s, Women in Construction showcase.

Throughout her 40-year journey with ARI—from administrative assistant to owner and president—Sheri has demonstrated that leadership is built through curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to keep learning.

Her feature highlights not only ARI's 65-year legacy of serving the cold chain industry, but also the importance of creating pathways for future generations of construction professionals.
As Sheri shared in the article, "Confidence isn't knowing everything. It's not being afraid to learn."

We are honored to see Sheri recognized alongside so many talented women who are helping shape the future of construction—from skilled trade technicians, and superintendents, to project managers, safety managers, accountants, and senior executives. Across every segment of our industry, women are driving change, strengthening businesses, and creating new opportunities for those who follow.

At ARI, we believe the future of construction depends on attracting, developing, and empowering talented people from all backgrounds. Through mentorship, workforce development, and industry engagement, we are committed to helping build the next generation of construction professionals.
Congratulations, Sheri, on this well-deserved recognition.

We’re raising a glass to the women who keep this industry moving forward.
In celebration of International Women’s Month and Women in Construction Day, our team joined the American Subcontractors Association - San Antonio for a night of connection, laughter, great wine, and incredible women. Proud to celebrate, support, and stand alongside those shaping the future of construction—on and off the jobsite.

We came out to a surprise in the morning, looks like even the bees are having trouble waking up after springing forward.

In our work we take on all kinds of challenges — big, small, and occasionally flying. Our workdays don’t always go according to plan, but adapting with a sense of humor keeps us steady, even when nature decides to join the action.

We are investing in our future workforce.

Students from Highlands Highschool visited with us as part of SA WORX Job Shadow Days, in partnership with Junior Achievement of South Texas. By opening our workplace to these students, they gain a firsthand look at career opportunities in the refrigeration industry available right here in SATX.

Students learned about project management, as well as the values and processes of becoming a professional engineer. Then we took a walk out to the warehouse where students were able to get some hands-on time and learn about the incredible opportunities within the refrigeration trade.

We may have gotten a little chilly walking through our live refrigeration demo, but the sunshine warmed us right back up. A great day of learning, exploring, and inspiring future workforce!

We are proud to partner with the greater: SATX and Junior Achievement of South Texas on this meaningful program that inspires the next generation of leaders.
