IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients proudly announces the appointment of Ralf Stürznickel as its new sales manager. Having joined IQI on August 19, Ralf is committed to helping further grow IQI’s business. His appointment reflects the rapid growth of IQI’s sales team, driven by the company’s ambition to expand business in Europe.
With almost fifteen years of sales experience at companies focused on animal health, Ralf brings extensive knowledge of animal nutrition and pet food to the IQI sales team. At IQI, he will focus on sales in German speaking countries – staying close to his country of birth.
Extensive network
“Next to fresh energy and a positive mindset, Ralf brings many years of experience, an extensive network, and a strong drive to support potential customers with the innovative IQI product portfolio”, says Arjan van Waes, IQI’s sales director Europe. “His profile fits seamlessly with the company’s growth ambitions in Europe, including the German market. Please join me in welcoming Ralf to the company!”
“Easy decision”
Ralf feels proud to be chosen to join the IQI team. “The high quality standards and great reputation of IQI made my decision very easy”, he states. “It is truly my biggest career achievement so far to be a valuable member of the IQI family now. The company is like a warm bath. I feel energized to start working with my new colleagues, and I look forward to contributing to IQI’s further expansion in the global pet food industry.”
Developing innovative concepts
With OSI as the new owner of IQI, ample opportunities will arise to help pet food producers with innovative concepts bring their pet food to the next level. Thanks to OSI’s vertically integrated supply chain of beef and poultry products, IQI can tap into a pool of own raw materials and products – becoming part of a network of more than 50 OSI production sites in 20 countries, with hundreds of suppliers and customers. A few concepts, like bacon fat, have already been introduced. More innovative concepts will emerge soon.
Let’s get in touch
Thanks to OSI’s eminently high quality standards, pet food producers like you can be guaranteed of the same high standards for OSI/IQI ingredients, as well as high standards in terms of sustainability and animal welfare. We would be happy to visit you to further introduce ourselves or welcome you at one of our facilities to explore what these opportunities can do for you as a pet food producer and how we can assist you in achieving your ambitions. If you are interested in talking to me about these or other related topics, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
