NORTH MANKATO — Taylor Corporation, a global print and communications company, announced Thursday it has acquired Gooten, Inc., a technology and fulfillment provider specializing in the print on demand market.
The acquisition will combine Gooten’s OrderMesh technology platform and fulfillment network with Taylor’s national manufacturing footprint and global development expertise. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“The Gooten partnership is not new to Taylor,” said Nate Mullikin, Enterprise Group President for Taylor. “As a current strategic technology provider… Gooten and OrderMesh have been critical to enhancing and simplifying the total experience for our customers from order entry to product delivery. This deeper relationship will scale our reach and capabilities in a game-changing way.”
The move is aimed at accelerating both companies’ position in the rapidly growing print on demand sector, which is projected to see a 10-fold increase in global revenues by 2034, according to the companies.
“Joining Taylor is all about strategic growth within a critical growth segment of our industry,” said Maddy Alcala, President of Gooten. “Taylor provides the foundation to grow faster and deliver more value to our customers.”
Taylor Corporation, headquartered in North Mankato, Minnesota, employs nearly 10,000 people with operations across the U.S. and internationally. Gooten, founded in 2015, provides software and services that help businesses manage on-demand manufacturing and order fulfillment.
