Cortland Biomedical, a full-service medical textiles product development partner, has promoted Eric Brown to general manager.
Brown has more than 17 years of experience in the areas of manufacturing management, lean manufacturing, materials management, supply chain development, MRP implementation, customer quoting, operations management and automation/controls. Prior to the promotion, Brown served as Cortland’s director of operations, where he was instrumental in driving expansion of the biomedical business and led the consolidation into the company’s new, state-of-the-art facility. Brown holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Pennsylvania State University and an MBA in technology management from University of Phoenix.
“I take great pride in being part of a company that develops products that will directly improve human health, and even save lives,” said Brown. “I’m excited to continue to grow with Cortland Biomedical. My new role will give me an opportunity to understand more about our customer base and their needs when it comes to new product development, as well as to foster a positive and inclusive corporate culture.”
“Eric has done a phenomenal job helping to grow our engineering team and launch our state-of-the-art Lime Hollow facility,” said John Greco, the vice president of sales. “The pride that he takes in our company and the Cortland community is apparent, and I look forward to seeing what he’ll accomplish next as general manager.”
The company is looking to fill additional positions across engineering, manufacturing and operations.
