Before joining Bender, Werner spent his career working in both sales and management roles, ranging across multi-national organizations such as Schneider (Square D), Eaton, and Toshiba focusing on Power Distribution, Controls, and UPS/Mission Critical systems. Through working with contractors, Distributors, OEMs, engineers, and end users clients across many different industries, Werner has found that working in a ‘hands-on’ capacity brings both success and enjoyment, no matter what the challenge brings, by best matching the customer's needs to our offering(s).
At Bender, Werner manages Bender’s Industrial business for the Northeastern United States. His responsibilities include business development and managing sales representatives, partners, sales channels, and key industry segments, which all benefit from the value Bender’s unique solutions provide.
Werner enjoys working with customers and partners in getting Bender’s industry-leading ground fault protection and location systems into the electrical marketplace and sharing this discipline since it can be less understood by electrical professionals and, therefore, highly valued. In addition, Bender being a family-owned business creates a family culture that is sometimes lost otherwise in today’s business world. This team approach allows Bender to better address the challenges we face in today’s world with a great team of hard-working professionals from our inside sales teams, application engineering teams, customer service team, operations teams, and leadership teams that all pitch in and work together.
Outside of Bender, Werner is married and enjoys spending time with five grown and married children, nine grandchildren, and his 2 German shepherds. He also enjoys traveling with his wife and family, spending time at their cabin with family and friends, and he is an automotive enthusiast, attending many car shows, local and national.
