London, UK — Passive component manufacturer, NIC Components Europe, has appointed Roger Addison as its European distribution sales manager in a move described as representing a significant strategic step forward for NIC operations in Europe.

Addison joins the company from distributor Eurodis Electron where he spent 13 years in a number of roles most recently as European marketing manager for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical components.

He worked with a number of distributors prior to joining Eurodis and cites his exposure to the increasingly pan-European nature of component distribution as forming a strong core to his approach to distribution sales management.
