FRANKFORT, KY (22 Feb 2018) - Cuddle Clones LLC, a provider of custom plush pet replicas, will move to a larger headquarters in Louisville with a $1.3 million investment that will create 50 full-time jobs, Gov. Matt Bevin and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced today.



"Cuddle Clones is a company that began as a startup right here in Kentucky less than a decade ago, and now it is preparing to create 50 jobs with this Louisville relocation," Gov. Bevin said. "They are a prime example of the vision we have for startups and small businesses throughout the commonwealth. Congratulations to Cuddle Clones. We are grateful for their continued commitment to Kentucky."

Cuddle Clones saw demand for its products rocket since the company opened eight years ago. The move will allow the company to expand its operations and introduce new product lines. Cuddle Clones currently employs 11 people in Louisville.

"We are super excited for this next stage of our business," said Jennifer Williams, Cuddle Clones CEO. "We love the entrepreneurial community in Louisville and the infrastructure and support that the state has provided to help our homegrown company succeed."

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Louisville, Cuddle Clones creates custom plush replicas of people's pets, as well as slippers and golf club covers made in their pet's image. The company expanded its product base to include custom 3D-printed sandstone figurines and ornaments, custom granite and bass-wood memorials, and other custom accessories. The company recently acquired Cartoonize My Pet, an online customization engine in which people can create a cartoon version of their pet. The created design is projected onto the Zazzle product line, which includes over 250 custom products, such as gift wrap, apparel, stationery and pet bowls.

Mayor Fischer noted the company's growth from a startup to a nationally recognized company.
