Cambridgeshire, UK, 12th January 2026 Anglia Components is delighted to announce that it has entered into an expanded franchise agreement with STMicroelectronics, extending its authorised sales territory to include the Nordic and Baltic regions. This strategic development reflects STMicroelectronics' confidence in Anglia's ability to drive market growth in these territories. It also reinforces the leading semiconductor company's commitment to a regional distribution model, in contrast to the globalised, homogenous approach adopted by many US-based chip makers which removes customer choice.
To support this expansion, Anglia will be recruiting a Managing Director and Field Application Engineers (FAEs), based in the territory.
Comments John Bowman, Anglia's Marketing Director: "Anglia's ethos has always been to listen to customers' needs. We believe that this is the way to build a strong, valuable and resilient business model. The so-called 'High Service' and broadline fulfilment distributors do not support the complex needs of the smaller and medium-sized customers, and critically they do not provide access to engineering resource. Their commitment is primarily to their shareholders, not their customers, so even basic services like holding inventory are not adequately supported. In direct contrast, Anglia values customers of all shapes and sizes, we focus our efforts on nurturing these relationships to grow and benefit together. This customer centric approach means they can always rely on us to provide technical and commercial support, and have access to our vast, locally-held inventory."
Adds Frank Wolinski, VP Channel Sales, EMEA at STMicroelectronics: "We are impressed by the innovation and ambition shown by Anglia. They have demonstrated their commitment to ST with initiatives such as the Ezysample program, which enables customers to get free samples of every ST new product introduction (NPI), and the fact that they stock more ST devkits than any other distributor. We believe that Anglia can bring the same levels of service and customer engagement for ST in the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden) and the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) that they have offered for over 50 years to customers in the UK and Ireland, expanding ST's market presence in these important regions."
Just as in the UK and Ireland, Nordic & Baltic customers buying ST through Anglia can also use Anglia Live, Anglia's e-commerce platform which offers a FedEx 1-2 day delivery service across the region.
STMicroelectronics has once again raised the bar in motion sensing with the launch of the LSM6DSV320X which is like no other IMU, designed to monitor and safeguard users in their individual surroundings and contexts.
STMicroelectronics DCP3601 buck converter, paired with the STEVAL-3601CV1 evaluation board, offers electronic design engineers a cost-effective and robust platform for developing next-generation power solutions.
The STM32N6x7 family is STMicroelectronics newest and most powerful STM32 MCU to date and the first to come with their Neural-ART Accelerator.
STMicroelectronics has unveiled the ST1VAFE3BX, the first dual-function biosensor combining a vertical analog front-end (vAFE) for detecting biopotential signals and a 3-axis ultralow-power accelerometer for motion tracking.
STMicroelectronics have introduced the STM32H7R/S line of MCUs which are based on the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M7 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 600 MHz, the devices offer applications MPU like performance using a real-time cost effective MCU.
