VISTAPRINT EXPANDS GLOBAL PRESENCE INTO AUSTRALIA

Company Constructs Manufacturing Plant and Establishes Business Unit for
Stronger Presence in Asia-Pacific region

Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT), a leading online provider of professional marketing products and services to micro businesses, today announced the creation of the company’s Asia-Pacific business unit. This business unit consists of a manufacturing facility in Deer Park, Australia and a marketing office in Sydney, and is Vistaprint’s first physical presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

“The opening of our new marketing office and manufacturing facility in Australia delivers on our strategic vision but also shows the commitment that Vistaprint has to being a world class provider of printed and promotional products to micro businesses around the world,” said Mike Ewing, senior vice president and managing director, Vistaprint Asia-Pacific Operations. “The Asia-Pacific region is a rapidly-growing market for the company. This new business unit allows Vistaprint to improve service to its existing customer base in the region with quicker shipping times. It also offers the company the ability to tap into a talented employee market that will be important to the company’s continued growth.”

Vistaprint’s Asia-Pacific business unit will operate in a manner similar to the company’s European and North American business units and will coordinate regional manufacturing and marketing efforts. The new manufacturing facility uses all of the cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the-art processes that have made Vistaprint a leader in the online printing and promotional products space and provides dedicated manufacturing support to Vistaprint’s existing markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Previously these markets were served by the company’s European manufacturing facility in Venlo, the Netherlands. Vistaprint’s North American markets will continue to be served by its manufacturing facility in Windsor, Ontario. The Sydney office will coordinate Vistaprint’s marketing efforts for the Australian, New Zealand and Japanese regions. The company currently has established localized websites for all three markets.

Vistaprint N.V. offers a multitude of products and services micro businesses need to effectively market to and increase a customer base on a limited budget.
