Beacon Converters

Description

Beacon realizes that the medical and pharmaceutical industries are constantly evolving and that this evolution is accompanied by new requirements for packaging. By fostering strong relationships with healthcare companies and through active participation in organizations at the forefront of these changes, we demonstrate a dedication to supporting the demands of our industry through innovation in packaging, employing materials and technology to meet the needs of the future.

The demand for sterilization packaging for manufacturers of disposable medical devices grew significantly and in 1985 Beacon diversified its product line by adding a header bag machine to the line. In 1987, Beacon purchased the manufacturing assets of GravureFlex, and increased its sterilization pouch capacity by almost 80%.

The son of William F. Daly, William P. Daly, joined the company shortly thereafter, working part time as a student in various jobs in the plant and then joined full time in 1957. William was CEO of Beacon until his retirement in 2002. During his leadership, William P. Daly became the founding Chairman of the Sterilization Packaging Manufacturers Council, a subcommittee of the Flexible Packaging Association. The SPMC was formed in 1994 to develop test methods and guidance documents for the flexible sterilization packaging of medical devices used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
