LAKEWOOD, COLO. (June 2, 2026) — KND Labs, a leading manufacturer and partner to the pet wellness industry, is pleased to announce that Nicholas Wilson, KND Labs’ president, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC). The position carries a three-year term and comes during a time when KND Labs has evolved to provide not only cannabinoid-based source material and processing services, but also expertise in non-hemp-derived manufacturing for a variety of brands spanning functional wellness, pet health, dietary supplements, sports nutrition, and specialty ingredients.
The NASC is an organization dedicated to advancing quality, compliance, responsible manufacturing, and consumer confidence within the animal health and supplement industries. Wilson’s election reflects his longstanding involvement with the organization, as well as KND Labs’ continued commitment to quality-driven growth across the animal wellness sector as a growing manufacturing partner to pet brands nationwide.
“I’m honored and grateful for the NASC community’s ongoing support,” Wilson said. “NASC has played an important role in helping shape a more responsible, transparent, and quality-focused industry for pet supplements, which aligns directly with our objectives at KND Labs. Over the years, I’ve developed tremendous respect not only for NASC’s leadership, but also for the relationships and sense of community it creates industrywide. I look forward to contributing my experience and support to the organization’s mission and continued growth for years to come.”
KND Labs provides NASC-compliant cannabinoid ingredients and pet product manufacturing tailored to regulatory, formulation, and retail needs. The company was honored as NASC Supplier of the Year in both 2022 and 2023, and has built a reputation for manufacturing excellence, regulatory leadership, and collaborative partnerships across the pet and animal wellness industry. Specifically, KND excels in providing ingredients, custom formulations and contract manufacturing services to both small and established companies, including pet wellness brands.
Wilson’s board election comes in tandem with KND Labs building on its roots as a CBD product leader to grow its contract manufacturing and product development capabilities — including for a wide array of pet and human wellness suppliers — with a new focus on non-hemp-derived materials.
“The animal health and pet wellness category continues to evolve rapidly, and organizations like NASC play a critical role in protecting the industry’s integrity,” said Courtlandt Pennell, KND Labs Vice President of Sales – Specialty Animal & Pet at KND Labs. “Nich Wilson has always believed that quality, compliance, transparency, and long-term partnership matter first. His election to the Board is a reflection of the trust he has built throughout the industry, and our entire team is excited to support NASC and its mission moving forward.”
KND Labs began as a CBD extraction company and, over the years, has evolved to provide advanced formulation, liquid manufacturing, powder blending, bottling, encapsulation, gummy manufacturing, and co-packing services for brands across many industries: functional wellness, pet health, dietary supplements, sports nutrition, and specialty ingredients, to name a few.
While KND Labs maintains deep expertise in hemp-derived ingredients and cannabinoid systems, today the majority of the company’s contract manufacturing business is focused on traditional non-hemp dietary supplements and functional wellness products. The company works with brands across a wide range of categories including animal wellness, sports nutrition, metabolic health, recovery, nootropics, adaptogens, functional powders, and liquid supplements.
A core focus of KND Labs is supporting small and mid-market brands that require lower minimum order quantities, formulation flexibility, and faster speed-to-market timelines. The company has built its manufacturing platform around helping emerging and growth-stage brands efficiently launch and scale products without sacrificing quality, certifications, or compliance standards. These characteristics allow KND Labs to support customers that require flexibility, lower MOQs, and a true strategic manufacturing partner as they grow.
