Camlin Fine Sciences has appointed Melissa Weber, Ph.D., as Senior Sales Director – Animal, North America, to drive growth and strengthen customer support in livestock, pet food, and rendering markets.
Camlin Fine Sciences (CFS), a global ingredient technology company providing specialty ingredients and aromatics, has announced the appointment of Melissa Weber, Ph.D. as Senior Sales Director – Animal. With this appointment, the company aims to strengthen its commercial leadership across livestock, pet food, and rendering markets.
In this role, Weber will lead commercial strategy and customer engagement across CFS’s animal business, with a focus on accelerating growth, strengthening technical collaboration, and delivering practical solutions to customers navigating increasing performance, quality, and cost pressures.
Weber brings more than 15 years of experience across R&D, innovation, and technical sales, with deep expertise in pet food and animal nutrition. She is well known across the pet food industry for her ability to connect technical insight with commercial execution and build strong, long-term customer partnerships.
Most recently, Weber served as Director of Technical Services at Wilbur-Ellis/Rangen, where she led innovation strategy and technical sales enablement, aligning R&D, sales, and operations to deliver commercially viable solutions and measurable growth. Her background in animal science, combined with hands-on experience in product development and customer-facing roles, allows her to translate technical complexity into practical solutions that perform in real production environments.
“Melissa understands what our customers are up against; tight margins, complex formulations, and the need for consistent performance,” said Jennifer Igou, President, CFS North America. “She knows how to take technical capabilities and turn them into solutions that work in real production environments. That’s exactly where we’re focused as we grow our Animal business.”
Weber’s appointment reflects CFS’s continued investment in technical-commercial leadership that helps customers move faster, reduce risk, and improve product quality across their operations. The company noted that this includes extending shelf life, managing variability in raw materials, and ensuring consistent performance from formulation through production and distribution.
“I’ve spent my career working alongside customers to solve real challenges, not just develop concepts,” said Weber. “What stood out to me about CFS is the combination of technical capability and the willingness to partner closely with customers to make solutions work in practice. There’s a strong opportunity to help customers navigate variability, improve consistency, and move forward with confidence.”
Weber’s appointment further strengthens how CFS aligns technical, commercial, and operational teams to better support customers, bringing clearer direction, faster decision-making, and solutions designed to perform across the full production process.
Her experience across product development, technical sales, and customer partnerships, combined with leadership roles at organizations including Mars Petcare and Cargill, strengthens how CFS works alongside customers to solve problems, reduce risk, and deliver consistent results.
