Cirtronics, an advanced contract manufacturing firm in Milford, appointed Dave Patterson as president and CEO, taking the reins from founder and former CEO Gerardine Ferlins, who will remain with the company as chief governance officer and chair of the board of directors.
Paterson joined Cirtronics in 2010 as director of global sourcing and was named COO two years later. He developed a global supply chain organization for Cirtronics and guided the company to achieve ISO 13485 certification and FDA registration. Patterson also led an evolution of Cirtronics operations and plant layout to support the safety and mobility requirements of advanced robotics manufacturing.
“I am humbled and very proud to be part of such a great organization," Patterson says. "We are an organization led by a purpose – to be an example of how a company can serve society in an ethical and productive way. I look forward to taking the next steps in this journey together with the whole Cirtronics team.”
Before joining the company, Patterson served in the armed forces, worked in logistics at the Veterans Administration and worked in global sourcing at Applied Materials.
