(PRESS RELEASE) Caitec announces the addition of Richard Nornhold as vice president of operations.

Nornhold joins Caitec from Johnson and Johnson and previously Energizer Personal Care. He brings many years of experience in global manufacturing, automation and business in the consumer products industry.

Nornhold’s role at Caitec will include the ownership of all operations in the U.S. and in China. In his role he will be responsible for new product development and continuous improvement efforts for all three of Caitec’s business segments (bird, dog and OEM).

He will be working with the company’s customer base over the coming months as Caitec transitions to a new ERP system and installs new project management tools. He will also be spearheading a Lean/5S implementation within the U.S. Operations, with a later implementation planned for operations in China.

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
