The company has appointed Maurice Van Rijn as new President of ScanSource POS and Barcode, Europe, where he will continue to lead the company’s pan-European POS and Barcode business.

He knows the market and our industry and will serve ScanSource well as we continue to grow and look to help our resellers uncover new opportunities,” comments Buck Baker, president, Worldwide Barcode and Security
