March 15, 2022 by Larry Hovish Leave a Comment

Headshot of Casey TsougranisGARDNER, Mass. (March 15, 2022) – Mack Prototype, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mack Molding Co. focused on complex prototyping and low-volume manufacturing, has announced the appointment of Casey Tsougranis as Director of Business Development.

Tsougranis will be responsible for developing new clients and marketing support for Mack Prototype’s additive manufacturing, new product introduction (NPI), plastic injection molding, cast urethane molding and machining services. She has been a Business Development Manager for Mack Molding since June 2017, covering New England and the Mid-Atlantic.

“We are very excited to have Casey leading the introduction of Mack Proto 2.0 to our customers,” said Mack Prototype President Greg Cebular. “She has been key to integrating the first programs into our NPI Launch Lab, and her familiarity with Mack will serve customers well. Casey understands how to leverage the breadth of our services to build solutions that meet our customers’ needs throughout the product development lifecycle, including bridging to full-volume production.”

During her tenure with Mack, Tsougranis fostered growth by identifying new client, market and technology opportunities. She previously built valuable product development and validation experience as a Mack intern. She has a bachelor of science degree in management engineering with a concentration in chemistry from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

Mack Prototype Adds New Product Introduction to Service Offering

August 10, 2021 by Larry Hovish 1 Comment

Patrick Merrill Appointed Manufacturing Engineer for New NPI Area

Mack Prototype Manufacturing Engineer Patrick Merrill works in the Company’s New Product Introduction area. Based in Gardner, Mass., the 15,000 square-foot space is dedicated to helping customers take their ideas from early stage manufacturing into full production.

GARDNER, Mass. (Aug. 10, 2021) – Mack Prototype, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mack Molding Co. focused on prototyping and low-volume manufacturing, has announced the addition of New Product Introduction (NPI) services to its portfolio.

Through its NPI platform, Mack Prototype will be offering manufacturing and engineering support in 15,000 square feet of dedicated space off the production floor to help companies bring their ideas to fruition, with another 20,000 square feet available for expansion. In addition to fixturing, assembly and testing, the Company’s new product launch pad area will feature real-time, cloud-based data and work instructions so customers will never be far away from the production floor.

 “With supply chain and design for manufacturing services, as well as molding and machining capabilities, right on site, we are uniquely positioned to give small program productions large program-level engineering support,” said Mack Prototype President Greg Cebular. “Our size gives us the agility necessary to adapt to the changing needs of early-stage manufacturing, while our experience and support from the broader Mack Molding family means customers can move into full program launch when they are ready.”  

The benefits of Mack Prototype’s speed and flexibility include onsite prototyping and machining that allows customers to modify their parts on the fly and nimble document control that allows for quick engineering changes. According to Cebular, this dedicated space is primed for established companies and startups seeking support for low volume builds – a place to build their production plan while working through design changes, the development of work instructions and build plans.

Once a program is ready for full-scale production it can be seamlessly moved into one of Mack Molding’s larger contract manufacturing facilities. A number of benefits aid in this transition, including sourcing parts from the approved vendor list (AVL) used in the NPI build, the fact that work instructions are based in a shared cloud-based system and the fabrication of metal and plastic parts on the same equipment. Additionally, since the program managers, manufacturing engineers and quality engineers are engaged throughout a customer’s NPI experience, production operators can be trained in advance of the transfer.

Picture of Mack Prototype ME Patrick MerrillLeading the efforts will be Mack Prototype’s new Manufacturing Engineer Patrick Merrill. With 10 years of engineering experience, including the medical device industry, Merrill has been involved with new products from inception to commercialization. Merrill most recently served as senior manufacturing engineer for Medical Creations Inc./Xtremity in Denver, Colo., where he also had previously served as a mechanical engineer. Earlier he had built engineering experience with KIC Consultants, and Rock Tools Attachments, both in Denver. Merrill has a master of science in mechanical engineer with a focus in biomechanics from the University of Colorado, Denver, and a bachelor of science in mining and mineral engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blackburg, Va.

“Patrick is a great addition to our team,” Cebular noted. “His broad experience with managing inventories, quality system implementation, design for manufacturing, benchtop testing and developing manufacturing procedures make him uniquely qualified to lead this effort to provide customers with a new pathway to production.”
