Taylor Corporation announced the acquisition of Gooten, Inc.. This move brings together one of the world’s largest commercial printing and communications companies with one of the leading technology platforms in the print-on-demand (POD) industry. The acquisition combines Taylor’s extensive U.S. manufacturing footprint and global development expertise with Gooten’s proprietary OrderMesh software and distributed fulfillment network, positioning the new partnership to deliver faster, more efficient, and scalable POD solutions for brands, e-commerce sellers, and distributors.

“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. The Gooten team is eager to begin this exciting path forward with Taylor.” Gooten’s platform integrates with leading e-commerce systems, including Shopify, Etsy, and WooCommerce, enabling seamless product customization, order management, and global fulfillment.

Taylor and Gooten’s collaboration aims to address one of the biggest challenges in the print-on-demand market, balancing speed, reliability, and scale. “As a current strategic technology provider to Taylor’s POD business, Gooten and OrderMesh have been critical in enhancing the customer experience from order entry to delivery,” said Nate Mullikin, Enterprise Group President at Taylor. “This deeper relationship will scale our reach and capabilities in a game-changing way.”

The merger delivers a unified ecosystem designed to help online sellers, brands, and marketing service providers reduce friction, accelerate product launches, and improve fulfillment reliability. The partnership will also allow enterprises to launch short-run, localized, or personalized products more efficiently while minimizing waste and inventory costs. With the global print-on-demand market projected to expand tenfold by 2034, Taylor’s acquisition of Gooten marks a pivotal step toward shaping the future of digital manufacturing, offering technology that integrates easily, production that scales effortlessly, and reliability that supports brands of every size.
