Beacon MedTech Solutions Appoints President



Beacon MedTech Solutions announced that James "Jim" Colony has been appointed President. Bringing a track record of success in strategic planning and manufacturing management, Colony will be responsible for driving strategic growth, continued excellence in engineering and quality and strengthened customer relationships across medical, life sciences, bio-pharma, aerospace, defense and technology markets.

Colony initially joined Beacon MedTech Solutions in an interim capacity, becoming President following confirmation by the board of directors. He is a veteran executive with more than 30 years of C-suite experience in operations and strategy, leading new product introductions and developing high-performing teams. Colony previously held leadership roles at international manufacturers Anderson Power and Hughes Aircraft. His background in aerospace, medical and plastics manufacturing will help facilitate the company's continued growth and support of customers across technology-driven industries.

"I wanted to pursue a role as Beacon MedTech's president because I truly believe in the company's value proposition of vertical integration and broad materials expertise and the benefits it brings to customers in critical markets," Colony said. "I am excited to be part of an organization with a committed and passionate management team that brings deep experience in quality, regulatory and compliance. I see them working hard to apply their knowledge in innovative ways every day."

Colony will lead Beacon MedTech as it supports customers in early-stage new and next-generation product development and scaling for commercialization from Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and tooling to manufacturing and assembly. He will guide the organization in leveraging thermoplastics, liquid silicone rubber and thermoset materials expertise for increasingly complex customer requirements.

Colony will also work with the management team to continue investing in Beacon MedTech's facility that houses its ISO 13485 and ISO 9001-certified operations.

"We are extremely excited to have Jim join the Beacon MedTech team given his substantial experience in leading growth-oriented companies and building cohesive and effective teams," said Carr Preston, board member of Beacon Manufacturing Group. "His interim success demonstrates his leadership will play a pivotal role in building Beacon MedTech's future."
