Tekni-Plex Medical fills two management positions

WAYNE, Pa.—Tekni-Plex Medical, a new division of Tekni-Plex Inc., has filled two management positions.

Meg Henke, who has worked for the company for 24 years, is the new global head of product marketing, and Jennifer Lan was hired to head up sales of medical products for the Asia Pacific region.

Tekni-Plex Medical recently was created to better serve medical device manufacturers and streamline the sales of the company's TPE and PVC medical-grade compounds, medical-grade tubing and precision tubing, which are sold under the brand names of Colorite, Natvar and Dunn, respectively.

In her new role as global head of product marketing, Henke will focus on driving the growth of the three product lines.

"She will shape product line strategies and direct implementation. Her decades of experience helping to identify solutions for unique medical device challenges make her the ideal person for this position," Ian Kenny, global head of products and technology for Tekni-Plex Medical, said in a news release.

Henke joined Tekni-Plex in 1996. She started out as a technical service manager supporting sales and marketing for Colorite products, then took on bigger roles for the brand, including director of sales for the Americas and director of commercial business development.

Before that, Henke was the director of extrusion services at Killion Extruders, a division of the Davis-Standard Corp.

Lan had been the sales and marketing director for Aptar China, a manufacturer of dispensing systems for consumer, health care and injectable products, before she joined Tekni-Plex Medical. Now she is leading a China-based sales team tasked with selling the Colorite, Natvar and Dunn product lines.

"Jennifer comes to Tekni-Plex Medical with significant sales management experience in several health care market segments. Her successful track record and leadership abilities make her ideally suited to lead our Asia Pacific team and help customers make the best decisions on their most important business issues through deep engagement, expertise, innovation and quality," Michael Luo, head of China operations for Tekni-Plex Medical, said in a news release.
