ARM & Hammer Animal Nutrition has announced several new additions to its leadership, marketing and sales teams, as well as new roles for current team members.

Earlier this year, Church & Dwight Co. Inc., parent company of Arm & Hammer, acquired Vi-COR, a manufacturer of fermented yeast-based feed ingredients and refined functional carbohydrates for a variety of animal species.

All Vi-COR products are now part of the Arm & Hammer family of brands. The companies believe the result will be a positive development for both entities and their shared global objectives.

"In addition to adding to our product portfolio, we added significant resources to our sales, marketing, research and development and technology teams," said Scott Druker, director of Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition. "As a result of these additions to our team, as well as the increased global reach across species, our organizational structure has evolved to meet the needs of the market and our customers."
