Previously with PEI Genesis, which he set up in Italy 11 years ago, ITT and Yamaichi, Della Malva is a well-known figure and will be able to bring design as well as commercial support to the role.
Powell Electronics’ European MD, Gary Evans, said: “It’s fantastic to have Nicola on board. His vast experience and knowledge of the connector market will prove invaluable to Powell, our customers and manufacturing partners alike.”
Della Malva added: “I am very pleased to have joined Powell. Being based in the EU with stocks held in Ireland, Powell’s customers can side-step all the problems that Brexit is causing. Powell already has a great line up of franchises including Glenair, Lemo, TE (value add products), Amphenol and Positronic and I am keen to start helping customers find the right solutions for their interconnection challenges.”
