MailPix, the photo-printing, canvas and gifting site, commemorates the seven-year anniversary of its acquisition of a major competitor, Winkflash. At the time, the 12-year-old photo-printing site was based in Attleboro, MA.

At the time, Fred H. Lerner, CEO and founder of MailPix, noted: “MailPix is well-positioned to continue its accelerated growth path, through both acquisitions and organic expansion via mobile and technical innovation,” he says. “Our executive team is prepared to act swiftly on appropriate opportunities.”

Since then, the privately-held MailPix has enjoyed considerable organic growth and expansion via acquisitions. The brands acquired by MailPix portfolio include RitzPix, MyPix2, Photobucket’s PrintShopLab, and 1HourPhoto.com.

“The photo industry is a great business!” says Lerner, who has more than 30 years of mergers and acquisitions experience. “Constant innovation and creative marketing are the keys to growth; those are the skills the MailPix team has honed.”

The MailPix portfolio of websites and mobile apps is an industry leader. Mobile apps in the MailPix family are printed at more than 20,000 U.S. retail locations.
