Tersus Solutions Accelerates Growth with Footwear Facility Expansion, a New Brand Partnership, and Leadership Additions
June 4, 2026

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado, (June 4, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Tersus Solutions, a logistics operator and technology innovator powering textile recommerce and circular operations across multiple verticals, from fashion and outdoor brands to the fire gear industry, is entering its next phase of growth with an additional facility in the Denver campus that is dedicated solely to footwear, a new Topo Designs partnership, and an enhanced leadership team reflecting the company’s accelerating momentum.
“As Tersus continues to expand its footprint, both geographically and across product categories, this continuous growth and expansions in both footprint and team enables us to deepen our services to existing brand partners while accelerating new program launches,” said Peter Whitecomb, chief executive officer of Tersus Solutions. “The new footwear facility, the Topo Designs’ Remapped partnership, and expansion of the executive team will drive our momentum in the circular economy.”
Tersus Solutions is expanding its four-building Denver-area campus with a 31,000 sq. ft. facility built to accommodate the unique demands of footwear recommerce. Unlike apparel, footwear requires specialized grading, cleaning, and restoration workflows accounting for materials ranging from technical mesh and rubber outsoles to leather and foam midsoles, each with distinct handling protocols. This facility enables Tersus to handle returned and traded-in footwear at scale, with an efficient, end-to-end workflow for managing higher volumes at every stage of the product lifecycle in a dedicated space for cleaning, grading, repair, and fulfillment.
Expanding its brand portfolio, Tersus Solutions is now partnering with Denver-based Topo Designs and platform provider Trove to support resale operations for Remapped, Topo Designs’ official branded resale program. Remapped has three steps: customers trade in used Topo Designs gear, Tersus Solutions restores and authenticates each item, and the products are then listed for resale through the Remapped storefront. Trove provides the software infrastructure powering the customer-facing trade-in experience and resale platform, while Tersus Solutions serves as the operational backbone, receiving, restoring, and fulfilling every item.
“Remapped is about keeping Topo Designs gear in the hands of people who love the outdoors and out of landfills,” noted Jedd Rose, co-founder and president of Topo Designs. “Partnering with Tersus Solutions and Trove means we can provide our customers with a seamless, trustworthy way to participate in the circular economy.”
To support its growing roster of brand partnerships and operational capabilities, Tersus Solutions is adding three senior leaders to its executive team. Dave Bogardus will join as vice president of finance, with expertise in operational oversight, M&A integration, and process transformation in PE-backed and high-growth companies. Dave’s background includes finance leadership roles with Western Veterinary Partners, RevGen Partners, and GoodRx, where he helped drive operational efficiency, financial planning, and scalable growth initiatives. He brings extensive experience across strategic finance, accounting operations, process improvement, and cross-functional business leadership. Kiersti Bird, vice president of growth, is joining from BOA, where she served as commercial director, leading revenue strategy and brand partnership development across the performance gear sector.
In addition, Tersus Solutions is accelerating its expansion in the fire and PPE decontamination space. The company is currently hiring for a general manager role to lead its fire and PPE division, a signal of the organizational investment Tersus is making to grow this critical vertical. On the commercial front, Tersus has been an active presence at major fire service conferences across the country, most recently exhibiting at FDIC 2026, the industry’s largest gathering of fire service professionals, where the Tersus team connected with fire departments and independent service providers (ISPs) exploring advanced decontamination solutions.
“Underlying all of it is a clear mission, to get Tersus’ tested and verified CO₂ cleaning and decontamination technology into the hands of as many fire departments and ISPs as possible,” Whitcomb continues. “With cancer remaining one of the leading causes of death among firefighters in the United States, Tersus views this work not just as a business opportunity, but as an obligation.”
