CEO Martin Ucik Heads New Division for the US, Canada and Mexico
Sommer cable GmbH, a leading Germany-based
international designer and manufacturer of high-end
Audio, Video, and IT cables and related products has
opened its new subsidiary, Sommer cable America,
Inc., in Santa Rosa, CA. Most of Sommer’s more
than 12,000 products can now be delivered within
5 – 10 business days to any American customer.
Newly appointed CEO Martin Ucik, who holds degrees in
both Electrical Engineering and Business, heads the North
American Sommer team. He will supervise all Sommer
cable sales, marketing, order processing, and support
activities in the US, Canada and Mexico while retaining
a role as strategic business consultant with his former
employer plus24.
Rainer Blanck, CEO of Sommer cable, announced,
“Over the years we’ve worked with Martin and several
other distribution partners in the US. When we decided
to open our own North American subsidiary, we chose
Martin as CEO because as a dual German/American
Santa Rose, CA, April 2, 2015
citizen and with his extensive experience in building
successful distribution businesses in Germany and the
US, he was the ideal candidate. As the head of our new
Sommer cable America team he will assure excellent
customer relationships and long-term continuity.”
Ucik adds, “After working with Sommer for many years,
and specifically with US distributor plus24 since 2002,
I have been offered this exciting opportunity to put
my 35 years of industry and management experience
in service of a great company and their American
customers.”
Jim Pace, owner and President of LA’s Audio Intervisual
Design and plus24 commented, “Martin has been a
great asset in the growth of plus24. We are now looking
forward to working with him in his new role as strategic
business consultant for plus24 and CEO of Sommer cable
America. Sommer has been a longtime vendor for our
companies and also distributes our Brainstorm Electronics
products line in Europe.”
