Newell Rubbermaid has named Magnus Nicolin as president of Asia Pacific (APAC), a newly created position. Nicolin, 52 years old, joined Newell Rubbermaid in May 2006 and will retain his current responsibilities as president of the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Region.

“The APAC region represents one of the strongest growth opportunities for our company at this time,” said Mark Ketchum, Newell Rubbermaid’s president/CEO. “With this appointment we will bring greater attention to fulfilling this opportunity.”

With over 3,700 employees and approximately $350 million in net sales in the region, Newell Rubbermaid has established its APAC commercial headquarters in Hong Kong and its sourcing headquarters in Shanghai. Throughout the region, the company markets many of its global brands including Rubbermaid and Calphalon.
