NutriPack, LLC Expands Leadership Team to Drive Operational Performance and Support Retailer Growth

NutriPack LLC, manufacturer of award-winning, Made in the USA Evanger’s Dog and Cat Food, Against the Grain Pet Food, and OrgaNOMics, is pleased to announce the strategic additions of Jon Kanellos as Director of Quality Assurance and Operations and Jared Kaney as Director of Business Development and Operational Excellence.

Together, Kanellos and Kaney will lead the next phase of operational strengthening and scalable growth for NutriPack and its family of brands, enhance manufacturing performance, modernize systems, and support continued expansion across the organization.

Jared Kaney brings deep expertise in high-mix manufacturing environments, combining sales leadership, project execution, and shop-floor operational rigor, while Jon Kanellos contributes extensive experience in food safety and quality assurance, supported by certifications including PCQI (Preventive Controls Qualified Individual), Mastering SQF, SQF Internal Auditor, SQF Practitioner, and Basic Seafood HACCP.

In his new role, Kaney will help autonomize and modernize NutriPack’s operations across warehouse execution, production systems, and inventory discipline. Working alongside Kanellos, he will support the implementation of enhanced operational rhythms, a KPI-driven performance cadence, and a strengthened SOP structure to ensure the company can increase production volume while maintaining the strict quality standards customers have come to trust.

“Investing in operational efficiencies that help our future scale and grow, the addition of Kaney is about strengthening the foundation that allows us to grow responsibly,” states Callie Sher, President of NutriPack. “Independent retailers, distributors, and pet parents rely on us for consistent quality, dependable fill rates, and award-winning nutrition. By pairing Jon’s quality-first operational leadership with Jared’s growth and execution expertise, we are investing directly in our customers’ success.”

This strategic expansion ensures NutriPack can continue to maintain optimal production volume, uphold the highest quality and integrity in every can and product, keep distribution warehouses filled in a timely manner, and ensure retail shelves remain stocked with the foods and treats pet parents trust. The strengthened leadership structure supports Evanger’s, Against the Grain, OrgaNOMics, and affiliated NutriPack brands in delivering consistent supply, improved service levels, and scalable growth, without compromising their Made-in-the-USA commitment or nutritional standards.

Both Kaney’s and Kanellos’ appointments underscore NutriPack’s continued investment in operational excellence and customer-driven growth. For independent retailers and distribution partners, this means stronger fill rates, improved predictability, and expanded production capabilities, helping all partners win economically while ensuring pets’ nutritionally win.
