Methods Machine Tools Inc. (Sudbury, Massachusetts) has announced that Jerry Rex, former COO, has been named company President. Bryon Deysher, long-time company President, has accepted a new position as Executive Director of the Board. Mr. Rex has assumed all operating functions of Methods Machine Tools, including its Sudbury headquarters and the six other locations throughout the United States. 

“Although Bryon’s work over many years in developing constant and sustainable growth cannot be overstated, Methods is excited to have Jerry’s experience and new perspective leading our dedicated team into the future,” says Scott McIver, chairman and third-generation owner.

This transition has been planned for some time, the company says. Mr. Rex, who has spent the last year at Methods as COO, was personally selected by Mr. Deysher as his successor.

Mr. Rex brings a background that includes hands-on manufacturing, engineering, sales and executive management. He has served for many years as a member of the board for AMT—The Association For Manufacturing Technology, and served as Chairman of AMT’s Board of Directors until April 1, 2016.
