Leominster, MA – Beacon MedTech Solutions announces that James “Jim” Colony will serve as the company’s president, effective immediately. 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 in March 2023, becoming president in August following confirmation by Beacon Manufacturing Group’s Board of Directors.

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 world-class facility that houses its ISO 13485 and ISO 9001-certified operations.
