News From Our CEO

A Year in Review

As 2025 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been one of the most dynamic and rewarding years yet for Freedom Electronics—and to thank our customers and partners for being at the heart of it all. From entering new markets to expanding our operations and launching innovative products, this year has been defined by growth, momentum, and strong collaboration across the entire Freedom network.

Expanding Our Reach

This year we officially entered the Mexico market, partnering with RE-MAKE to expand our reach in retail petroleum across Latin America. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re proud to bring Freedom’s proven quality and service to a broader audience of distributors and service companies.

We also expanded into a new vertical: Food Service Equipment. Strong relationships with major C-store operators—built over years of partnership in the petroleum segment—naturally pulled us into this space. The trust and reliability associated with our fueling products translated seamlessly into support for equipment like steam ovens, and intelligent hot and cold beverage dispensers, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated with touchscreen interfaces and smart diagnostics. We launched many new products in this category, and we see tremendous opportunity ahead as food service technology continues to evolve.

eCommerce Growth and Digital Momentum

Another major success story this year has been our eCommerce platform, which continues to exceed expectations. In 2025, we more than doubled our online sales compared to last year. The site’s intelligent search tools and user-friendly design make it easy for customers to find the right products—whether on a mobile device in the field or from a desktop in the office. We’ve seen significant growth not only from our existing customer base but also from many new customers discovering Freedom for the first time. With multiple ordering channels—phone, email, and web—more and more customers are choosing the convenience of ordering online.

Strength in Our Core Business

While we entered new markets, we never slowed down in our core focus—retail petroleum. Our Freedom Engineered line continued to expand with practical, technician-friendly products that simplify service calls and reduce downtime. From the FE-14 printer to proportional valve repair kits and DEF system components, each launch this year reinforced our commitment to innovation that works in the field.

Growing Teams and Greater Efficiency

Behind every success story is a great team, and 2025 was no exception. Both our facilities experienced growth, and our operations became stronger than ever. We introduced new processes and Lean methodologies that helped us operate more efficiently than at any point in our history. Those improvements paid off—allowing us to achieve record production output in the last couple of months while maintaining our high standards for quality and delivery.

Looking Ahead

As we head into 2026, our focus remains steady: to be the most dependable and innovative partner in every market we serve. Expect continued product expansion, faster turnaround times, and even more tools to make doing business with Freedom easier and more seamless—whether online, on-site, or in the field.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. On behalf of everyone at Freedom Electronics, I wish you and your families a joyful holiday season and a successful start to the new year.

Until next time,

Patrick Jeitler

By Fletcher Baldwin, Chief of Staff

I’m used to hearing the normal sounds of our production floor in full swing when I come into the office each day.  The beeps of test fixtures, characteristic “brrr’s” of desoldering tools, and carts rolling between cells fill out the daily hum of life at our Kennesaw branch. 

Friday mornings, though, are a different story.  Shouting, laughter, and what I can only describe as screaming may greet you if you come in around 8am.

You’ll find the production cells empty as our board, mechanical, and probe teams are in the breakroom.  Lane will have YouTube on the TV, and Alex is MC’ing another round of Family Feud.

It’s one of my favorite moments of the week.  I usually linger in the back, watching teammates tease, cheer, and celebrate a small win before getting back to the day’s work.  I’m not sure how Family Feud became the game of choice but it’s a special moment of camaraderie and fun that carries through the day even if it only lasts twenty minutes. 

“Passion” is one of our core values, and this is a small example of what it means to live that value.  If you look closely at the photo, you may also notice the “Wall of Champions” behind the TV and the Halloween-themed board on the side wall, reminding everyone that the annual costume contest was approaching (a separate story itself!) 

At Freedom, we’re passionate about what we do, about who we do it for, and about who we do it with.  The smiles and energy from the weekly Family Feud carry through to our interactions with each other and to all of you, our customers.

This month, we’re proud to celebrate Brad Harper, our dedicated Sales Support/Driver Lead, who’s been part of the Freedom Electronics family for an incredible 25 years!

Brad has worn many hats over the years — from technician to sales and even doing internal construction projects — and has been a steady, reliable presence through it all. His hands-on expertise, calm leadership, and willingness to jump in wherever needed make him one of the true cornerstones of our team.

Quote from Brad

“It’s been amazing to see how Freedom has grown over the years — not just as a company, but as a family. I’m proud to be part of a team that works hard, helps each other out, and always finds a way to get things done.”

Outside of Work

When he’s not keeping the driver routes running smoothly at Freedom, Brad stays busy as a father and grandfather. He’s also a sound director for shows and festivals, bringing his technical know-how to the stage. And if that’s not impressive enough, Brad dedicates time each year to mission trips in Africa, where he lends his skills and heart to helping others.

Brad, your 25 years of dedication, hard work, and heart have made a lasting impact on Freedom Electronics. We’re so grateful for everything you do and proud to have you as part of the Freedom family!
