Muenster Milling Company, a manufacturer of freeze-dried and extruded pet food, has appointed Ryan James as its chief revenue officer.
James brings over three decades of sales leadership experience, including his most recent role as senior vice president of sales at Simmons Pet Food, where he oversaw significant growth in the wet pet food segment. His career also includes leadership positions at Kimberly-Clark and Electronic Arts.
“We are very excited to welcome Ryan to the Muenster team as we strive to be the preferred supplier of freeze-dried meals, treats and inclusions to pet brands and retailers,” said Jim Holdrieth, CEO of Muenster Milling. “Ryan’s expertise in contract manufacturing, private brands and consumer packaged goods will provide immense value to our customers who rely on us for innovation and insights. His knowledge of pet nutrition, from complete meals to treats, aligns perfectly with our mission.”
James’ appointment follows the recent launch of Muenster’s state-of-the-art freeze-drying facility in Denton, Texas, which became operational in March 2024. The vertically integrated facility positions the company to meet increasing demand for freeze-dried pet food products.
