Glen Ellyn, IL: Dreisilker Electric Motors, Inc. (DEM) is excited to announce that its President, Leo F Dreisilker, is celebrating his 50^th year of service. Leo started out in the company during his high school years. Him and his brothers would work in the repair shop and also warehouse to start learning the ropes.  Leo gravitated towards the sales side of the business, helping sell HVAC motors over the counters. He would also assist with the warehouse and inventory, by helping order stock and maintain the stock. To learn more about the business, Leo studied at the Addison Electrical Institute in Chicago on week nights and also took classes at College of Dupage.

 

 

Over the years, Leo has become known to be a motor expert through experience.  “One of my favorite things about working with my father, Leo, is listening to him talk about all types of motors. He has the sharpest memory and can recall when a specific motor came in back in the day. He even remembers what special steps we had to take to repair or service that motor!” says Lynn Dreisilker, Operations Manager at DEM.

 

Not very many people can say that they share the same milestone, but he did not do it without support. One of the most enjoyable things from Leo’s 50 years of experience has been working with great people. “My dad (Henry Dreisilker, Founder) always hired people who said they wanted to work. My Dad would hire them and it wouldn’t matter what background or nationality they came from. By doing so I learned a lot about people.” says Leo. Furthermore, “Providing meaningful opportunity for people and helping their families grow and be successful is what business is all about.”
