Please join us in congratulating Jeff Bodine on his retirement as President of Bodine Electric Company effective April 10th, 2026.

Jeff began his career at Bodine Electric in 1978. In his own words “When I first walked through Bodine’s doors more than five decades ago, I could not have imagined the journey ahead. This company has been woven into my life in more ways than one — not only as my career, but as part of my family’s story. Guiding an organization that represents generations of commitment and vision has been deeply rewarding.” Although he will be stepping away from the responsibilities of President, Jeff will not be stepping away from Bodine. He will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, and remain involved in supporting the company’s long-term vision and ensuring continued stability and strength as we move forward.

We held celebrations for Jeff earlier this month at both our Peosta, Iowa headquarters and our Northfield, Illinois factory.

Please join us in congratulating Michael Gschwind on his retirement from Bodine Electric Company’s Sales and Marketing Team – effective January 30, 2026.

Mike began his career at Bodine on May 31,1977 as a co-op in the Sales Department. Upon graduation, he accepted a full-time role in Sales. In 1984, he transitioned to Research and Development which led to various engineering and sales positions before being promoted to Vice President of Sales and Marketing in 2006.

Throughout his career, Mike has been instrumental in shaping Bodine’s growth and reputation in the marketplace. From helping expand our customer base in new industries, to introducing innovative product solutions, to leading our Sales and Marketing teams with integrity and vision. Mike’s impact has been felt company-wide. Under his guidance, Bodine strengthened its brand, expanded its global reach, enhanced its digital presence through the development of our website and social media platforms, and upheld the company’s commitment to quality and service.

For close to fifty years, Mike has been a cornerstone of our Bodine family. Saying goodbye to his daily presence brings both a sense of loss and celebration of all he has achieved. Though we will miss his insight and camaraderie, we are excited to see the new adventures and cherished moments.

We celebrated Mike at Hackney’s in Glenview, Illinois on 01/21/2026, with delicious food and great company. Office employees from both our Northfield, IL location and our Peosta, IA location joined in the fun. Our retirees and Bodine family members were in attendance as well.
