Pet food protein sourcing, refining, and custom blending
Integrated Proteins manufactures and trades custom protein ingredients for pet food producers. The hiring velocity is accelerating across operations and manufacturing roles, with concurrent focus on process standardization, quality systems, and compliance—suggesting either capacity scaling or remediation work following audit findings. The tech stack is enterprise IT–focused (Microsoft 365, virtualization, network infrastructure) rather than product-facing, typical of mid-sized manufacturing with distributed lab sites.
