St. Louis-based Ralcorp Holdings Inc. announced last week that Ralcorp Cereal Products President Ron Wilkinson would retire from the company at the end of September.

Wilkinson, also a corporate vice president at Ralcorp since 1996, was the president of Ralston Foods from March 2008-July 2010, and the president of Bremner Food Group for two years before that.

“Ron has been an integral member of the Ralcorp leadership team for the past 16 years, and we congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement,” Ralcorp CEO Kevin Hunt said in a news release. “Ron has contributed greatly to Ralcorp’s success over the years, and we are grateful for his strong leadership and business acumen.”
