Volusion, a leading provider of E-commerce solutions and services, announced today that it has expanded its operations by opening a new office in Austin, Texas. The new space marks Volusion’s regional expansion to Texas from its Simi Valley, California-based headquarters.

In the coming year, Volusion is projecting another tripling of growth in its customer and revenue base. The company plans to double its staff to 20 employees, increasing its technical support and development teams to keep its software and customer service ahead of the competition. As part of this projected growth, Volusion also expects to hire additional sales and marketing staff.
“Our new office expansion will provide Volusion with the additional room needed to meet the needs of our rapidly growing company and staff,” stated Kevin Sproles, President of Volusion. “We are excited about Volusion’s continued expansion and consumers’ renewed interest in online shopping. The growing demand for our e-commerce solutions reflects the unrivaled value that our products are providing to our growing customer base.”
