Kemin names new leadership for its pet food business unit

Muñoz began his career at Kemin in 2013 as a marketing intern, and within a year began working full-time as marketing coordinator for the now-divested Kemin Personal Care business unit. Muñoz spent four years in Kemin Personal Care, developing marketing collateral for products and leading several sales team and customer trainings. He played a key role in divesting the business unit and providing post-divestment support to customers. Muñoz transitioned to Kemin Nutrisurance, where he has spent the past two years growing the Health and Nutrition Platform. Recently, he pioneered Kemin’s global Specialty Proteins development initiative.

Abrate has spent more than 12 years in the pet food industry. He joined Kemin in 2015 as production manager for Kemin Nutrisurance in Veronella, Italy, and was promoted to operations manager in 2019. Over the last five years, Abrate has led a highly engaged team, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was able to ensure the safety of Kemin Nutrisurance employees in Italy without any interruption in production.

“Alberto and Nicola have both excelled in their respective areas of focus, and I’m excited to see what they can achieve in their new leadership positions,” said Yannick Riou, President, Kemin Nutrisurance. “They have extensive experience at Kemin and in their disciplines, and they’ve already made significant contributions to our global pet food business. Advancing them into executive roles will help grow our overall business and continue to enhance our service to customers.”
