Located in southeast Missouri, Bloomfield is a small town with a rich history, and we are proud to call it home to one of our litter factories since 1976. Our factory in Bloomfield was the first to produce Lightweight® litter, a product that weighs half the amount of conventional litter, revolutionizing the pet care industry. An innovative feature of this factory is an overhead bridge that allows full pallets of finished products to be conveyed to a warehouse with an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) just north of the factory.

This innovation, along with others, played a significant role in Nestlé Purina earning the Malcolm Baldrige Award, the highest level of national recognition for performance excellence that a U.S. organization can receive. As the Sr. Quality Technician, you’ll ensure that our finished product is consistent and meets quality standards across various shifts. You’ll see that we adhere to the appropriate processes and procedures to remain compliant—including NQMS requirements, additive applications, material quality, and product quality tests.
