Scotchman Industries announced the retirement of Mike Albrecht, Scotchman’s longtime National Sales Manager, and the appointment of Bradly Kuchenbecker as his successor.
Albrecht will retire after 31 years of dedicated service, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, customer-focused growth, and unwavering commitment to Scotchman’s core values. To ensure a seamless transition, he will remain actively involved through his official retirement date in April, supporting the sales team and continuing to work closely with customers, with a particular focus on automation solutions.
Throughout his tenure, Albrecht played a pivotal role in strengthening Scotchman’s national sales strategy and building lasting relationships with distributors and customers across many industries.
“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with such a talented team and loyal customer base,” said Albrecht. “Scotchman Industries has always stood for quality, integrity, and people. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and am confident Bradly will lead the sales organization forward with great energy and vision.”
Kuchenbecker brings 26 years of industry experience and a deep understanding of Scotchman’s products, customers, and sales network to his new role as national sales manager.
“I’m honored to step into this position and follow in Mike’s footsteps,” said Kuchenbecker. “Mike has set a high standard, and I look forward to building on that foundation while continuing to deliver the excellent products and services our customers expect.”
Brad Heltzel, general manager of Scotchman Industries, expressed gratitude for Albrecht’s contributions and confidence in the transition.
“Mike’s impact on Scotchman Industries cannot be overstated,” said Heltzel. “His leadership and dedication helped shape our sales organization into what it is today. We wish Mike all the best in his retirement and are excited for Bradly to take on this responsibility. His experience, work ethic, and passion for our customers make him the right choice to lead our national sales efforts into the future.”
