A resident of Worcester, MA, and The Carnegie Abbey Club, Portsmouth, RI, McDonough was an innovator and leader in the adhesives and coatings industry, and an honored philanthropist who was a passionate supporter of a number of charities.
McDonough founded FLEXcon Co. in 1956 at the age of 26 as a FLEXible CONverter of plastic films. He grew the company from a two-person garage operation in Spencer, MA, to what it is today—a leading manufacturer of pressure-sensitive film products with 1,500 employees worldwide.
