Nautilus, Inc. has re-aligned its leadership structure into three separate business units – Fitness Equipment, International Equipment, and Fitness Apparel.

Mark Meussner has been promoted to VP of manufacturing and Dustin Grosz was promoted to VP of operations.
Nautilus also made several appointments to the new divisions formed with this restructuring. Tim Hawkins was named president of the Fitness Equipment business and Darryl Thomas was named president of the International Equipment business. Juergen Eckmann will serve as Acting President of the Fitness Apparel Business. Eckmann previously served as chief of staff to Pearl Izumi USA, through its acquisition by Nautilus in 2005.
