Control Sales is proud to announce our appointment as the Manufacturers’ Representative for Electroswitch in Illinois and Wisconsin. Electroswitch Electronic Products, a division of Electro Switch Corp, has been delivering highly reliable, fully engineered switch solutions and custom value-added services since 1986.

Offering the industry’s most extensive range of standard and custom electromechanical switches—including rotary, toggle, pushbutton, and rocker designs—Electroswitch products are trusted in critical electronic applications around the globe. The company’s strength lies in its ability to provide custom-designed solutions tailored to meet virtually any customer requirement across a wide array of industries.

“We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings,” said Kingsland Coombs, President of Control Sales. “Electroswitch’s high-quality product line, much of which is manufactured in the USA, is a perfect complement to our premier electromechanical offering. With our extensive experience in switches, we’re confident in our ability to bring immediate value to our customers.

We are excited to announce that Greg Gorsuch has joined Control Sales as Account Manager for Wisconsin, stepping into the role following the upcoming retirement of John Ivey on May 31, 2025.

Greg brings with him a strong background in sales leadership, account management, and business development, with a particular focus on the electronics and defense sectors. Most recently, he served as an Aftermarket Sales & Proposal Analyst at Fairbanks Morse Defense, where he led cross-functional teams and developed multi-million-dollar proposals aligned with both business goals and customer needs. Prior to that, Greg spent seven years at Bisco Industries in various sales and management roles, overseeing hundreds of client accounts and driving consistent revenue growth.

Greg is known for his strategic mindset, relationship-building skills, and commitment to demand creation. His hands-on experience managing complex sales cycles and optimizing pricing strategies will allow him to quickly adapt to the needs of the dynamic OEMs in his territory.

Based in Wisconsin, Greg will be serving customers throughout the greater Milwaukee area, central and northern Wisconsin. He is eager to connect with our OEM and distributor partners and continue the tradition of customer-first service that John Ivey exemplified throughout his tenure.

Please join us in welcoming Greg to the team! You can reach him at ggorsuch@controlsales.com or through the Brookfield office at (262) 797-9500 x203.

After more than three decades of dedicated service to the electronics industry—and eight impactful years with Control Sales—we are both proud and a bit reflective to announce that John Ivey, Account Manager for Wisconsin, will be retiring on May 31, 2025.

John joined Control Sales in 2017, bringing with him a wealth of experience from key sales roles with premier manufacturers’ representatives and distributors in both Wisconsin and New Jersey. From our Brookfield, Wisconsin office, John has built and nurtured long-standing relationships with OEMs and distributors across the greater Milwaukee area, and both central and northern Wisconsin.

Known for his extensive product knowledge—from switches, sensors, and relays to thermal management and interconnect solutions—John has consistently delivered value-added expertise, particularly in the medical and industrial sectors. Whether helping a customer navigate a complex sales cycle or developing solutions for factory automation, food equipment, or packaging systems, John has been a trusted and respected partner to all who’ve had the pleasure of working with him.

Outside of work, John is an outdoorsman and enjoys spending time in the kitchen trying out new recipes. We know he’s looking forward to more time to explore both passions in retirement.

Please join us in celebrating John’s outstanding career and wishing him the very best in this next chapter. He would love to hear from colleagues, customers, and friends—feel free to send your well wishes to him at JIvey@ControlSales.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ivey-99b4261b/.

Thank you, John, for your many years of commitment, professionalism, and friendship. You’ll be greatly missed!
