Dentist – Mascon Medical

John R. Chen

CEO & Global President of Mascon, Inc

With extensive experience in global business and international relations, John R. Chen serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Mascon Inc., the parent company of Mascon Medical.

A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with degrees in Engineering, Management and Technology, Chen brings a diverse perspective to finding solutions and fostering collaboration among Mascon’s domestic and international partners. His keen scientific and operational insights help bolster his core competencies in financial planning and analysis, product design, quality control, and technology infrastructure development.

Prior to joining Mascon, Chen owned and operated a technology consulting company called Nextwave, LLC in New York, which assisted early-stage high-tech companies in reaching their next milestones for growth, especially in international travel and education.

Earlier in his career, while at Diamond Consultants, Inc., a Chicago-based digital consulting firm for emerging and mature Fortune 100 companies, Chen was instrumental in creating a reorganization plan for Goldman Sachs & Company saving the firm millions and adding improved operational efficiency within the organization.

And as a consultant at Ernst & Young, LLP, Baltimore, Chen spearheaded the merger of two multi-million utility companies and served as the program manager for a major ERP (enterprise resource planning) implementation for a large automotive aftermarket equipment manufacturer.

Subsequently, he joined Mascon and strategically realigned the company’s business model to focus on Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) and supply chain services in industries ranging from home and office security to aerospace and defense. He also tactfully expanded the company into new markets including global manufacturing such as precision machining, injection molding, forging, and die casting.

Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, Mascon was founded nearly 40 years ago by Chen’s father Dr. James Chen to help businesses in the United States and Asia work together. From its humble beginnings in Chen’s childhood home in Winchester, Massachusetts, the company has grown tremendously to become a global sourcing company with employees and offices in Woburn and Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, China, as well as Taipei, Taiwan.

In March 2020, when COVID-19 was exploding in the United States, especially in New York and Boston, Chen contacted former United States Congressman Bill Delahunt to discuss Mascon’s intention of launching a new business division to help fix the problem of shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE). Congressman Delahunt enthusiastically embraced the idea and agreed to join the team as a member of Mascon’s COVID-19 Advisory Board. From there, Mascon Medical was born.

As the pandemic began to spread, Mascon Medical promptly began leveraging its US parent company’s infrastructure, connections to its sister company in China, and more than 40 years of experience in global sourcing to bring precious PPE into the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in the hands of those communities hit hardest by COVID-19.

In addition, Mascon Medical invested millions to create face masks specifically designed for children, further expanding the PPE supply chain in the Commonwealth. And while other suppliers were demanding 50% deposits and even 100% payment in advance, Mascon asked for 0% down on initial orders to demonstrate its ability to deliver and establish credibility.

To date, Mascon Medical has delivered millions in PPE to clients throughout the Commonwealth and around the United States including the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Steward Health Care, City of Las Vegas, Rapiscan Systems, Massachusetts Trial Courts, City of Quincy, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and Massachusetts Nurses Association. This includes masks, gowns, face shields, goggles, hand sanitizing wipes, and electrostatic sprayers.

For nearly four decades, Chen’s family business has built a reputation for quality, transparency, and ethical business practices. Mascon Medical is carrying on this tradition.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
