The TailGator was the brainchild of two enterprising and passionate engineers from Northern California, who recognized a major opportunity to fill a desperate need for portable blending power.  From the small town of Grass Valley, CA, the determined engineers began to skillfully hand-assemble the first models of the TailGator.  With care and precision, the TailGator brand was officially launched in 1998.

Once unveiled and in their possession, almost immediately customers began singing the praises of such a novel and desperately-needed product.  Strong customer loyalty and devotion to the product have always been the hallmark of the TailGator brand.  Demand for the TailGator has never been higher, as offline and online marketing efforts continue to expand our exposure.  As word-of-mouth referrals continue to spread about the “take it anywhere, anytime” blender, TailGator is poised for growth.

Our early heritage of producing high quality hand-assembled products, and delivering uncompromising customer service, continues today under the supervision of Richard Hayes, President and Chief Gator Officer.

The TailGator received its first taste of the national spotlight when it was featured on the hit TV sitcom “Home Improvement.”  Most recently, the TG appeared on a holiday gifts segment of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and was such a crowd (and studio) favorite that it was invited back for a second showing.

Media coverage of the TailGator has also included numerous articles in leading publications such as: The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Millionaire Magazine, Maxim, Potentials, Splash, Boating World, Dockside, Popular Mechanics, Playboy, Atlanta Sports & Fitness and a variety of others.
