The pioneering platforms Printful and Printify enable hundreds of thousands of individuals and businesses to use the efficiency of on-demand production to build their own e-commerce businesses. On November 5, 2024, they announced plans to merge. The merger has satisfied regulatory review and received overwhelming support from the shareholders of both companies.
Today the two companies serve hundreds of thousands of clients, including:
- individuals running side gigs;
- entrepreneurs creating their own brands; and
- large entertainment companies that use creative merchandise to engage fans
By joining forces as equal partners and combining their technology capabilities and resources, the newly combined companies will be able to support their broad range of customers with increasingly tailored and innovative solutions.
The combined company will use the strengths of both Printful’s in-house production facilities, and Printify’s network of more than 85 third-party production partners to provide customers greater product selection, broader geographic reach, and ever-improving fulfillment solutions.
This unique offering of production-on-demand capabilities will help speed up the replacement of mass production and reduce the harmful environmental effects of overproduction. The merger of Printful and Printify will also support the efficient growth of their customers’ businesses.
The ultimate result will be a new, more efficient, fast-growing, and profitable company well positioned to drive innovation and extend its product and service offering to more customers in more geographies.
“This is an exciting moment for everyone,” said Alex Saltonstall, CEO of Printful. “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.”
Printify CEO Anastasija Oleinika said, “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.”
