Bowser is an 11-year Modine veteran. His focus will be on implementing reorganization announced in late 2008 and continuing to drive the process and productivity enhancements throughout those businesses.
“We are very pleased to have a seasoned executive like Scott step in to lead our Americas’ region during these challenging times,” stated Thomas A. Burke, Modine president and chief executive officer. “Scott, who started his Modine career as a plant manager, is a proven leader with deep experience in both operations and sales. Most recently, Scott successfully integrated our Brazilian operations into the Modine global organization and has been actively managing the notable success in that business. During his tenure, Modine Brazil nearly doubled its revenue and achieved the highest gross margins among our original equipment businesses globally. His broad experience uniquely qualifies him to lead our Americas Original Equipment business with a demonstrated ability to understand and respond to the needs of our customers.”
Bowser joined Modine in 1998 and has served in a number of operations and management positions, incorporating plant manager in Pemberville, Ohio; general sales manager, truck; and managing director, Modine Brazil. He holds an undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics from the Anderson College and a Master of Business Administration from the Bowling Green State University.
Before joining Modine, Bowser served in increasingly responsible leadership roles in operations, sales, and general management and eventually as president at The Pierce Company. His successor at Modine Brazil in Sao Paulo will be named at a future date.
