Picanova Plans Obetz, Ohio, Production-Fulfillment Operations

08/01/2025
Picanova Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of The Customization Group, a wall décor and lifestyle products company, plans to establish operations in Obetz, Ohio. The $2.75 million project is expected to create 246 jobs.

The company’s new production and fulfillment facility will be located at 4000 Creekside Parkway. Operations are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025.

“Our expansion into the Columbus Region is a major milestone for our North American operations,” said Philipp Mühlbauer, CEO of The Customization Group. “With this strategic move, we’re not only strengthening our U.S. presence, but also creating high-quality jobs and significantly improving delivery speed and service for our American customers.”

The project is being supported by a 1.599 percent, nine-year Job Creation Tax Credit approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority.

“Picanova’s investment in establishing its first Midwestern facility in Obetz underscores how the state has established itself as a national leader in innovative, tech-driven manufacturing,” noted J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO of JobsOhio. “With access to world-class logistics and a growing base of skilled talent, Picanova’s new facility is perfectly positioned to serve American customers and accelerate its North American growth.”

The Customization Group offers print-on-demand mass customization, serving customers through its portfolio of e-commerce brands. The company currently operates production facilities in the U.S., Poland and Latvia.
