MOO Opening U.S. Facility in 2009

MOO.com, a London-based online stationer that makes highly customizable printed stationery for small businesses and individuals, announced plans to open an office in Providence, R.I. The office will be focused on operations and fulfillment of U.S. orders, which make up 50 percent of the company's sales. MOO is currently hiring, and expects the team to reach 10 people by the end of the year.

MOO has enjoyed triple-digit growth since launching in 2006, and is currently on track to hit similar levels in 2009. The company develops high-quality printed products, like business cards, minicards, postcards and notecards, and caters to small and home businesses, freelancers, and individuals that want to stand out in an increasingly crowded world.

MOO's expansion into the U.S. market allows the company to better serve its North American customers. The result will be more flexible shipping options and rates, trackable packages, and faster overall shipping times. The office will open in the first half of 2009.
