Tessy Plastics today named Stafford Frearson as the medtech supplier’s new president with former President Roland Beck becoming CEO.

Frearson joined the contract manufacturer in 1997 and was promoted to his most recent role, VP of engineering, in 2018. He’s now responsible for day-to-day business operations across the plastics company’s 13 locations in the U.S. and China.
