New Leader Named for Nordson’s Medical and Fluid Solutions Segment

Nordson Corporation has promoted Justin Hall to executive vice president (EVP) and Medical and Fluid Solutions (MFS) segment leader. He replaces Stephen Lovass, who has left the company.

“We appreciate Stephen’s many contributions to Nordson over the years. His leadership has positioned the MFS segment to move forward on its organic growth journey,” Nordson President/CEO Sundaram Nagarajan said.

Hall joined Nordson in 2006 and has a strong performance track record, having held leadership positions within the company’s three segments and built deep expertise in deploying the NBS Next growth framework. He joined Nordson’s Industrial Coating Systems business in 2006 as an application engineer, and subsequently held positions of increasing responsibility, including leadership roles for Nordson Sealant Equipment and automotive businesses globally.

In 2020, Hall was promoted to general manager, Nordson MEDICAL Fluid Components, where he helped implement the NBS Next pilot program. This positioned the business to meet high customer demand for medical fluid components during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, Hall was vice president of the Electronics Processing Systems business, where he holistically deployed NBS Next to position the business for profitable growth as the semiconductor packaging cycle begins to inflect.

Hall earned a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Cleveland State University and an MBA from the University of Northern Colorado.

“Justin is a tenured Nordson leader who has deployed NBS Next holistically to position the company for organic growth in multiple end markets. I am looking forward to his new perspective and partnership within MFS,” Nagarajan stated. “Our medical portfolio is well positioned with differentiated products and a close-to-the-customer business model. The Atrion acquisition in 2024 further enhanced our customer offering. Medical is an attractive end market fueled by long-term growth drivers, including aging of the population, increasing healthcare spending and procedures, adopting of minimally invasive surgical techniques and continuing innovation. We must execute on the market opportunities, and I believe Justin and his medical leadership team will return this segment to above-market growth.”
