Nautilus plans to relocate its Louisville, Colo.-based fitness product development facility to the company’s headquarters in Vancouver, Wash. and then move its Apparel Division, including Pearl Izumi from leased facilities in Broomfield, Colo., into the now vacated Louisville building, which the company owns.

Nautilus has had a presence in Colorado since it acquired the indoor exercise assets of Schwinn Fitness in 2001. The move will add 40 to 50 positions at the Vancouver headquarters, where the company currently employs 550.
According to the company, virtually all Louisville employees will be extended relocation offers, with the transition expected to be complete by March 2007.
