Natural Habitats USA moves headquarters to Boulder

BOULDER — Natural Habitats USA, Inc., an organic palm oil company, has relocated its headquarters to Boulder from Richmond, Calif. The new office is located at 948 North St., Unit 7.

Boulder organic-industry pioneer Mark Retzloff, who serves as chairman of Natural Habitat’s board, said in a prepared statement that the company’s move to Boulder made sense.

“Natural Habitats is rapidly growing the organic ingredients business, especially with organic palm oil. As the epicenter of natural products, Boulder is a perfect fit,” Retzloff said.

Natural Habitats also announced three new additions to management team: Andy Thornton was appointed chief operating officer of the Organic Animal Nutrition division of Natural Habitats USA; Adriane Pilcher was named marketing director, Natural Habitats Group; and Nancy Schoemann is now logistics and administrative manager, Natural Habitats USA, Inc.

The three additions will support the strategic and day-to-day operations of the Natural Habitats organic palm oil business units. Neil Blomquist, managing director of Natural Habitats USA, said the three “all bring unique backgrounds to the team, and will be key contributors in building the organic palm oil business.”

Thornton brings more than a decade of work experience in nonprofits, social enterprise and the palm-oil industry to the company, and will oversee the Organic Animal Nutrition portion of Natural Habitats USA, a division solely focused on improving organic animal nutrition through the use of organic palm oil.

Pilcher comes to Natural Habitats Group, the parent company of Natural Habitats USA, from Boulder Brands, where she managed the Earth Balance Brand for seven years. Prior to her tenure at Boulder Brands, Adriane owned a marketing consulting firm that worked with natural-products startups and small companies.

Schoemann  joins Natural Habitats USA from the White House Advance Team, where she managed logistics of domestic and international White House events.

Natural Habitats USA focuses on sustainable production of certified organic and fairly traded products, including organic palm oil. Natural Habitats products are cultivated using only 100 percent organic practices by small farmers in South America and Africa, for use in food, persona-care and animal-nutrition products.
