Semi-Kinetics, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services, has named Colin Forgy as Manufacturing Manager at its Nampa, Idaho operation, adding a hands-on leader with a track record of improving performance on the production floor.
Forgy comes to Semi-Kinetics from Plexus Corp., where he spent nearly eight years moving through a series of leadership roles. Most recently, he managed a shared service factory, leading efforts to improve equipment utilization, streamline operations, and get more out of existing capacity without sacrificing quality.
Earlier in his time at Plexus, he oversaw defense manufacturing programs and delivered measurable results—pushing on-time delivery from 70% to 90%, cutting scrap down to under 1%, and driving more than $1 million in cost savings. His approach has consistently centered on tightening processes, aligning teams, and making sure the operation runs the way it’s supposed to.
He started his career at Micron Technology, where he worked his way up from the floor into leadership, building a foundation in high-volume manufacturing, team development, and day-to-day execution.
At Semi-Kinetics, Forgy will be responsible for keeping production moving efficiently while the company continues to grow. That includes refining processes, supporting the team on the floor, and making sure customer expectations are met without adding unnecessary complexity.
He holds an MBA from Purdue Global and a bachelor’s degree in business management from University of Phoenix.
For Semi-Kinetics, the move is a practical one: bringing in someone who understands how to run a factory, improve it, and keep it aligned with what customers actually need.
