Tailwind Nutrition, headquartered in Durango, CO, moved to a new production and warehouse facility in La Plata County and hired Chris Jacobs as chief operating officer.
“Tailwind Nutrition continues to grow at a fast clip,” said Jenny Vierling, co-founder. “We outgrew our production facility three years ago, and it’s been a game of Tetris since. We’re thrilled to open our new facility with ample space for growth, keeping manufacturing and fulfillment here in Southwest Colorado. At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Chris Jacobs as COO, bringing his organizational expertise to help more athletes achieve their goals as we scale.”
Jacobs will run the company’s day-to-day functioning, adding processes and systems that enable scalable growth from Tailwind’s Durango office.
By leveraging his experience and channeling the expertise he brings from the consumer packaged goods, e-commerce and outdoor industries, Jacobs is tasked with creating scalable processes.
Tailwind Nutrition manufactures its products in Durango, CO, employing 30 people in the La Plata County community. Its new facility is located near the Durango-La Plata County Airport. The space is larger and optimized for efficiency. The new facility houses production and warehousing.
