September 04 2025 - News

IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients is proud to announce the appointment of Jessica Beißmann as Sales Manager. Having joined IQI on August 1st, Jessica is ready to contribute to the continued expansion of IQI’s commercial success. Her appointment underscores IQI’s growth and ambition to strengthen its presence in the European pet food market, especially in German-speaking countries.

Valuable market insight and strong connections

Jessica brings a solid track record in sales and animal nutrition, developed over more than a decade of experience. “Jessica brings extensive market insight, a strong sense of customer needs, and a wealth of experience in animal nutrition across Germany and surrounding regions,” says Arjan van Waes, CEO at IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients. “Her passion for sustainable pet food ingredients and ability to connect with key stakeholders make her an ideal fit for IQI’s future.”

A natural next step

Jessica is enthusiastic about her new role: “Healthy nutrition has always played an important role in my life and nutrition is the key to health and performance. This goes for humans as well as for animals. As my passion for animals has existed since I was a small child, their nutrition is important to me to ensure a healthy, happy life for the animal. I am excited to be part of IQI to ensure high-quality and healthy ingredients for your pets.”

Innovation powered by global reach

As part of the OSI Group, IQI has access to a vertically integrated supply chain for beef and poultry products, with over 50 production sites in 20 countries. Thanks to this access, IQI can tap into a pool of own raw materials and products – becoming part of OSI’s network, with hundreds of suppliers and customers. A few concepts, like bacon fat and beef MDM, have already been introduced. More innovative concepts will emerge soon.
