ARLINGTON, Vt. (April 16, 2024) – Mack Molding, a leading custom plastic injection molder and supplier of contract manufacturing services, announced today Josh Pang has been appointed Northern Division President. Pang will succeed Mack Molding President Jeff Somple when he retires later this year.
As President of Mack Molding’s Northern Division, Pang will be responsible for the Company’s four Vermont facilities, as well as Mack Prototype, a prototyping and low-volume manufacturing facility in Massachusetts, and Synectic Product Development, an engineering services group in Connecticut. Mack Molding is part of Mack Group, which includes global provider of complex electronic manufacturing services, Mack Technologies, and is led by President and CEO Will Kendall. Pang will be reporting to Kendall, along with Mack Molding Southern Division President Bryan Campbell.
“As a strategic leader with more than 20 years of experience in sales and marketing focused on market share expansion and revenue growth in medical contract and OEM manufacturing, Josh is an excellent fit for Mack’s business objectives,” Kendall said. “On top of that, Josh’s collaborative approach to managing internal and external stakeholders, along with his strong work ethic, make him an excellent cultural fit to the benefit of our employees and customers.”
Prior to Mack, Pang was Chief Commercial Officer at Orchid Orthopedic Solutions, leading commercial activities for the $400 million orthopedic medical device design and manufacturing services provider. He also previously was a distributor principal for CONMED Linvatec Orthopedics and MTF Biologics, directing its Ohio and western Pennsylvania sales team before being promoted to vice president of orthopedic sales. Additionally, Pang built business development and operations experience with Smith & Nephew Endoscopy, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson. He has a bachelor of engineering degree from Michigan State University, as well as a master of business administration degree from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
According to Kendall, Somple will work closely with Josh to transfer his expertise in Mack’s operations, customers and culture over the coming months.
“During his tenure, Jeff has overseen tremendous growth, including diversifying our customer base, securing our place in the medical market and establishing Mack as a true, vertically-integrated manufacturing partner,” Kendall noted. “Over 36 years he has built a strong organization, and we appreciate his commitment to guiding Josh as he prepares to build on this legacy.”
Pang is excited to be joining the organization, noting Mack’s expertise in custom plastic injection molding and contract manufacturing, as well as its reputation for recruiting and retaining top talent, attracted him to the role.
“There is something very special about Mack,” Pang said. “The legacy established by the Kendall family 104 years ago is as strong as ever thanks to their continued leadership and their coworkers’ commitment to running a true customer-centric business. From the way Mack develops its team members to its investments in the community, there is a clear devotion to the foundation of the business. A lot of organizations espouse these ideals, but Mack’s application of them is next to none, and I look forward to carrying on that tradition while fostering continued growth.”
