In an e-commerce world where consumers expect fast delivery, high quality, and personalization all in one package, physical manufacturing has had to evolve. The Customization Group (TCG), owner of the U.S. based customer favorite CanvasDiscount and Picanova Inc is making a bold move to meet these expectations by ramping up its domestic manufacturing footprint. Their new facility in Obetz, Ohio offers a glimpse at how personalized wall décor is being reshaped—not just by design, but by logistics, trust, and regional investment.
Reshoring, Reimagined
TCG’s decision to relocate CanvasDiscount’s operations from Arizona to Ohio reflects a broader trend toward reshoring U.S. manufacturing. With Ohio’s central location and robust transportation infrastructure, the Obetz facility will significantly reduce transit times and logistical costs, enabling quicker delivery of personalized canvas prints coast to coast.
The site was chosen strategically: located in the Columbus region—one of the nation’s fastest-growing logistics corridors—it gives the brand faster access to major population centers while contributing to the revitalization of domestic manufacturing.
Boosting Local Economies with AI and Automation
The facility will bring 246 full-time jobs to Franklin County, generating more than $13 million in annual payroll, supported by an estimated $2.75 million in capital investment. A 1.599% job creation tax credit approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority will support long-term employment and operations stability over at least the next twelve years.
Inside, the facility will house cutting-edge automation systems, AI-assisted quality control, and fulfillment workflows designed to optimize production without sacrificing the emotional value of personalized products. From image enhancement algorithms to real-time order tracking, AI is embedded in every stage of the experience.
Personalization Meets Performance
Personalized wall art has always meant more than decoration—it’s about capturing emotions, milestones, and memories in a lasting, meaningful way. As consumers increasingly turn to prints on canvas to tell their stories, the need for speed, reliability, and craftsmanship grows in equal measure. The new Ohio facility empowers the brand to deliver faster turnaround times, confidently navigate seasonal surges, and fulfill each order with precision and care.
Built on Trust: BBB Accreditation and Customer Confidence
Alongside the facility launch, TCG’s Picanova Inc has earned accreditation from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), with an A+ rating, reinforcing its commitment to quality and transparency. In an industry where personalization is deeply emotional, trust is essential—and being a BBB-accredited business helps reassure customers that they’re in reliable hands.
A Vision for the Future
For The Customization Group, this expansion represents more than operational efficiency. It’s a foundational step toward scalable personalization powered by AI, built with ethical supply chains, and delivered through local communities. The Obetz facility serves as a North American model for what the future of photo printing and on-demand decor can look like when smart logistics and personalization converge.
