Manassas direct mail company to cut ribbon on new headquarters

Prince William County and direct mail production company Planet Direct Mail will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon Planet Direct’s new  headquarters in Manassas.

The county announced the company’s expansion into its new 115,000-square-foot headquarters, located at 11050 Challenger Court in Innovation Park, on Aug. 25. The expansion retained 130 jobs and is estimated to create 100 more.

“We are most excited about the efficiency, safety and expansion capacity that will come with our new building,” Planet Direct President Ryan Gutman said in a statement. “Innovation Park offered us a strategic location to meet the specific needs of a manufacturing business, and the county was able to meet our critical timelines.

Planet Direct has operated in Prince William County since 2008.

Christina Winn, executive director of the Prince William County Department of Economic Development, said, “By expanding their business here in Prince William County, Planet Direct is offering our residents good jobs and providing a direct impact to our local economy, with an estimated $15 million in capital investment. We know how much Planet Direct invests in their employees, and we are excited to host a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the leadership, staff and their new home in Innovation Park.”
