Printful & Printify Merge
The two e-commerce production-on-demand platforms will continue to operate as separate brands.
Printful and Printify, two e-commerce production-on-demand platforms, have announced that they will merge.
According to the companies, 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.
Both platforms will continue to operate as separate brands. Both the Printful and Printify brands will be maintained for the foreseeable future, and 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 that 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. 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,” stated Alex Saltonstall, CEO of Printful.
“Our combined company will give our merchants more. More top-quality products, more places to sell, more innovative solutions, and more growth and profit. We’re also going to be able to provide best-in-class learning, talent density, and development opportunities for our teams. In recent years, the Latvian tech and entrepreneurial scene has caught up with our neighbors in the Baltics and Eastern Europe. This merger will not only help to crystallize that position but also give us the platform to be a destination for top talent from around Europe and the world,” asserted Anastasija Oļeiņika, CEO of Printify.
The co-founders of both companies view the merger as the next logical step in their development.
Lauris Liberts, co-founder and chairman of Printful, said, “Printful has been on an exciting journey for over ten years now and it’s fantastic to be moving to the next stage of our journey through a merger with Printify. Bringing together these two innovative technology and production-on-demand businesses will place us at the forefront of the country’s thriving technology sector and unlock huge growth potential for our company and the region.”
“We have always been focused on driving Printify towards its full potential, and Printful is the perfect partner to allow us to achieve that. It is clear that our businesses are hugely complementary and that this merger will ensure we are in the best possible position to serve our customers, enhance our offering, and grow further in new markets,” added Jānis Berdigans, founder and executive chairman of Printify.
