Meet the Team
Jane Hogan
& John Buchenan
Jane and John are the Co-Founders of AL-AN, with over 60 years of combined manufacturing experience. John is a third-generation engineer. He began his formal career at Packaging Industries in Hyannis and has held several technical, operational, and management positions at other manufacturing facilities before he and Jane launched their own company in Sandwich, MA in 2000. John has been the key engineer, programmer, and machinist at AL-AN ever since. Jane has been instrumental in maintaining the business side of the company, including administration and bookkeeping - although she has never been shy about getting her hands dirty as well!
Alyce Buchenan
Alyce returned to AL-AN in 2021, with nearly a decade of prior experience in management, operations, and quality. Before re-joining AL-AN, she held a number of roles at vivitide (formerly New England Peptide). There, she led the Synthetic Department of over 20 individuals on 3 shifts as Senior Production Manager. Later, she transitioned to lead the Quality Department, where she developed and implemented a centralized Quality Management System and was instrumental in harmonizing the quality and operations between the Gardner and Louisville sites. Alyce received her B.S. in Biotechnology Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Anne-Marie Buchenan
Anne-Marie returned to AL-AN in 2021, with 8 years of prior experience in the manufacturing industry. She holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Olin College of Engineering. Prior to re-joining AL-AN, Anne held positions supporting Secondary Processing (finishing and machining) at Pace Industries before moving to the Quality Department there. While Quality Engineer, and later Quality Manager, Anne spearheaded transitioning the Quality Systems from ISO9001:2008 to ISO9001:2015 and, eventually, to AS9100D - in addition to her regular duties, such as monitoring internal quality, supporting project qualifications, and managing customer inquiries and complaints.
