Nina Leigh Krueger succeeds Joseph Sivewright as chief executive officer and president of Purina PetCare in the Americas.

The 1.2 million-square-foot facility is the second new US facility announced by Purina in 2020 and one of several recent capital investments made by Nestlé to bolster pet food operations.

E-commerce is growing rapidly while out-of-home sales are down for the company so far in 2020.

The nonprofit organization recognized the pet food manufacturing company’s environmental stewardship through its Corporate Conservation Achievement Award.

The company partnered with Amcor to develop a 100% recyclable wet pet food pouch to withstand heating and sanitizing during processing and offer a sustainable option for pet owners.

The company is refurbishing a former brewery in Eden to build a 1.3 million-square-foot manufacturing facility for its leading dry dog and cat food brands.

The company’s 21 manufacturing sites and St. Louis headquarters have successfully diverted all landfill waste to reusable streams.

The company’s overall sales declined 9.5%, but Purina drove a 6.6% increase in sales over the first two quarters of Nestlé’s fiscal 2020.

The company will upgrade production areas and install new equipment to increase production and export capacities.

The pet food and treat manufacturer will hire 94 additional employees and expand its production capacity in Mechanicsburg.
