At Coghlin Companies, global innovation fuels progress, but community remains at the heart of everything the company does. With operations in Westborough, Northborough, and West Boylston, Coghlin Companies remains committed to fostering an engaged workforce and giving back to the communities it calls home. As a trusted Time to Market Services™ provider for leading medical device and capital equipment companies worldwide, the organization recognizes its strength lies in its people.

President, CEO and Chief Culture Officer Chris Coghlin says it’s true that customers will never love a company until the employees love it first. That philosophy drives the company culture, where every team member is regarded as a “Caring Associate.” Creating opportunities for professional growth and career advancement is a top priority for Coghlin and his brother, Jim Coghlin, Jr., Chief Supply Chain Officer, as they lead the fourth-generation family business into the future.

Since its beginnings as a contract manufacturer in the early 1990s, Coghlin Companies has expanded into nearly every major technology sector, supporting many well-recognized global innovation leaders. Specializing in the commercialization of mid-to-large scale capital equipment and FDA-compliant medical devices, including product development, manufacturing, global distribution, and refurbishment, the company focuses on accelerating time to market and reducing overall product cost.

Coghlin Companies proudly partners with pioneering organizations to produce some of the most disruptive technologies in the world. Whether advancing AI chip production, enabling groundbreaking dry plasma storage for future medical needs, or revolutionizing security solutions to make the world safer, the company thrives on delivering life-changing and life-saving technology to its treasured customers.

As a U.S.-based manufacturer, Coghlin Companies remains resilient amid evolving global dynamics. A strong, dedicated workforce is more critical than ever, and its commitment to fostering top-tier talent remains steadfast. The company invests heavily in next-generation leadership through internal training programs, an extensive co-op program, and outreach with local vocational schools and industry groups.

Community engagement is embedded in the company’s DNA. With over 800 employees across 10 facilities, Coghlin Companies enthusiastically contributes to charitable efforts, supporting organizations such as the United Way of Central Massachusetts, Community Harvest Project, and Overlook Farm. Its Caring Corporate Citizen program, an employee-driven quarterly giving initiative, and DetecTogether, a nonprofit cancer education organization founded by the Coghlin family, exemplify the company’s commitment to making a meaningful impact.

“We say ‘yes’ a lot. Investing in our community is not just a responsibility—it’s a privilege,” said Chris Coghlin. “We are grateful for our incredible team, and we want every associate to feel that appreciation every day.”
