Beacon Converters

What Beacon Converters does

Beacon Converters, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of custom sterile barrier packaging solutions headquartered in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. Founded in 1947 as Beacon Bag Company by William F. Daly, Oliver L. Pouliot, and Bill Wehrman, the company shifted from food packaging to sterilization packaging in the 1970s under second-generation leadership (William P. Daly) and currently operates under third-generation family management, with Jackie Daly Johnson serving as President, Kathleen Daly Mascolo as Vice President of Sales & Marketing, and William P. Daly as Chairman of the Board. Beacon is ISO 13485:2016 certified, registered with the FDA as a Class II device manufacturer since 1972, certified as a Women's Business Enterprise by WBENC in 2025, and an Authorized Converter of DuPont Tyvek.

The company's product portfolio spans flexible sterilization packaging systems built from medical-grade materials including DuPont Tyvek, single and multilayer films, medical-grade papers, and foil/paper/film laminations. Core products include Tyvek film pouches, Tyvek foil and film header bags, Tyvek coated lids, Tyvek rollstock, HDPE die cut insert cards/wallets/trays, foil lids, foil-to-foil pouches, film overwrap bags, paper flat and square bags, and foil film bulk bags. Beacon supports all major sterilization modalities (EtO, Gamma, E-beam, Radiation, Autoclave), offers custom sizing from 1" to 100" with up to 4-color printing, and provides a proprietary size calculator. The HDPE die cut product line, launched in 1999, is positioned as a sustainable alternative to thermoformed trays. The company operates from a single facility at 45 Mayhill Street in Saddle Brook (relocated 2017), which includes manufacturing, warehousing, four R&D/testing labs, and customer meeting space.

Beacon operates a direct enterprise sales model with a small named sales team (Account Executives Juan Gonzalez and Anna Autry, plus Sales & Marketing Specialist Marci Neuman and Carole Norris), supported by inside sales through website quote and sample request forms. Pricing is quote-based with standard credit terms of 2%, 10 net 30, and lead times of 3-4 weeks for commonly stocked material combinations. Revenue derives from one-time purchases of custom sterile barrier packaging sold directly to OEMs across four verticals: medical devices (primary), pharmaceuticals, biologics, and animal health. Customer engagement is relationship-driven, leveraging Beacon's participation in AAMI, ASTM, SPMC, and CSA standards committees to influence industry specifications and support customer regulatory workflows. The company employs 101-250 people and serves customers globally from its single U.S. facility, with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, or external institutional capital.
