Plain City, Ohio – Today Mixt Solutions, a Plain City e-commerce company, is breaking ground on their third new structure in four years. This facility will triple their square footage to almost 100,000 total square feet.
Mixt Solutions is an online based sales company specializing in Amazon-based consulting. It was started in 2014 by two Columbus-based entrepreneurs, Alexander V. Johnson and Austin Keller, in a family basement and has since been named a 6x Columbus Business First Fast 50 Award Winner and a 5x Inc. Magazine 5,000 Fastest Growing Companies in America.
“The new facility will give us the ability to greatly expand what we can do for our client partners”, Johnson said. “This will be year 10 in business for us, so starting in a basement in 2014 to where we are now is amazing to see.”
The new facility will be used for distribution of Mixt’s brand partners’ products and allow for new areas of business such as third-party logistics, order fulfillment, storage, and ease of distribution. The expansion will be built by local area contractor and business park creator, Glenn Hochstetler of Hochstetler Buildings Inc.
“As our community continues to grow, we celebrate the journey of this business from its beginnings as a startup to where it is today,” said Union County Administrator Bill Narducci. “This expansion exemplifies the strength of our local economy and underscores our commitment to supporting homegrown businesses. We’re proud to see a local startup not only thrive but also choose to reinvest in our county, creating jobs, and driving economic growth.”
Mixt handles all aspects of Amazon sales including logistics, item prep, listing design, creation, optimization, marketing, and sales. Mixt is a top worldwide Amazon seller and has crossed over $100,000,000 in lifetime sales on the Amazon platform.
JobsOhio plans to provide assistance for the project, which will be made public after a final agreement is executed.
“Built from the ground up in Plain City, Mixt Solutions is an example of how Ohioans’ ingenuity and innovation are shaping how businesses grow in the modern economy,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “Mixt Solutions’ decision to continue expanding where it was founded will nearly double its workforce in the Columbus Region while providing greater capacity for its customers nationwide to brand, market, and distribute their products.”
