Renewal Fuels, Inc., operating under the American Fusion brand, has appointed Dwight Cartwright as Chief Operating Officer and member of the Company's Board of Directors. The appointment represents a strategic move to strengthen operational leadership as the company advances its Texatron™ fusion platform toward commercial deployment.
Mr. Cartwright brings extensive senior leadership experience across operations, manufacturing, infrastructure development, and complex technology-driven organizations. His career spans large-scale operational environments where disciplined execution, safety, quality control, and capital efficiency were critical to success. He has led multidisciplinary teams responsible for facility buildouts, production readiness, logistics coordination, and operational scaling in regulated and mission-critical settings.
As Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Cartwright will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations, operational planning, manufacturing and supply chain readiness, infrastructure development, safety and quality systems, and organizational execution. His role is expected to be central to translating engineering progress into repeatable, scalable operational execution as the Company moves beyond development phases.
"I have worked closely with Dwight and have seen firsthand the depth of his operational judgment and execution discipline," said Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion Technologies. "He understands how to build organizations that can support complex technology programs at scale. As we move beyond development and toward deployment, Dwight's experience will be invaluable in ensuring that our operational foundation matches the ambition of our technology."
Richard Hawkins, Chairman and CEO of Renewal Fuels, Inc., emphasized the strategic importance of the appointment: "Dwight's appointment reflects our focus on execution and accountability. His background in leading complex operations, managing risk, and building durable systems strengthens our leadership team at a critical stage. He brings the kind of operational rigor required to support American Fusion's long-term objectives."
The appointment comes as Renewal Fuels continues its transition following its merger with Kepler Fusion Technologies, operating under the American Fusion brand. The company has filed a corporate action with FINRA to change its legal name to American Fusion Inc. The Company's strategy is centered on building a scalable, infrastructure-grade fusion energy platform supported by proprietary technology, disciplined intellectual property development, and long-term commercial deployment objectives.
Kepler Fusion Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renewal Fuels, is developing the Texatron™ aneutronic fusion platform designed to support modular, infrastructure-grade deployment for industrial, commercial, and grid-constrained applications. The company emphasizes system-level engineering, disciplined intellectual property protection, and scalable architectures intended to support long-term commercial operation.
