MORTON, ILLINOIS, US — Larry Estep has joined 4B Components Limited as electronics division sales manager, replacing Keith Bohnker, who retired after nearly 23 years with the company.

Estep’s career includes time in customer success and product management with Hexagon AB, Tucson, Arizona, US, and more than 20 years of commercial and product management with Caterpillar, Inc, Peoria, Illinois, US.

“Larry brings a wealth of global technical and commercial knowledge and experience that will greatly benefit our valued customers,” said Brian Knapp, vice president – electronics   division. “His addition to our team further strengthens the robust resources and support we offer to the industry.”

Estep earned a degree in business from Western Illinois University and an master’s of business administration from Bradley University.

In his time with 4B Components, Bohnker was the main resource for customer support across the Americas.

“To say Keith was a cornerstone of our technical sales team seems like an understatement given the incredible wealth of expertise he offered our customers,” said Johnny Wheat, president. “In more than two decades with us, he became our customers’ go-to for solving their everyday technical and application challenges.”

Bohnker came to 4B with a background in the weighing, wet milling and grain/feed industries. He studied agronomy, animal science and ag mechanization at Iowa State University, and received an associate degree in biological sciences from Ellsworth Community College.
