Printful and Printify, two technology platforms that enable a wide variety of customers to build e-commerce businesses utilizing production-on-demand, have announced they will merge. The merger will open new prospects for accelerated growth for both companies and offer millions of customers broader opportunities to develop their online businesses on a global scale, according to a release. Both platforms will continue to operate as separate brands. Existing sellers and customers can expect to see new offerings on both platforms soon.
“This is an exciting moment for everyone. Printify is a business that we have long respected and I believe there is a natural fit between the two companies. As our discussions progressed, we found that our cultures are very similar, while our businesses are even more complementary than we initially believed,” says Alex Saltonstall, CEO of Printful. “I’m excited to see our two great technology companies combine strengths and provide our customers with ever improving opportunities to fulfill their business goals.”
The merger will provide e-commerce sellers worldwide with Printful’s in-house production facilities and Printify’s network of more than 85 third-party production partners. By providing print and other on-demand manufacturing services, the companies aim to replace mass production, both enabling the efficient growth of customers’ businesses and reducing the harmful effect of overproduction on the planet, according to a release.
