These values are shared by our new colleagues at Flywheel, who have built their company on many of the same principles: integrity, authenticity, transparency and employee empowerment. But most of all \u2014not forgetting to have fun along the way!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a huge milestone for our company. By joining forces we will now serve more than 120,000 customers in 150 countries with the talent and dedication of nearly 900 employees across seven offices around the world. Flywheel\u2019s team complements WP Engine\u2019s employees and customer base in North America, Australia, and Europe.

Together, we\u2019ve made important product innovations to improve how companies create and build on WordPress. We aspire to earn the advocacy of our valued customers and agency partners through our actions every day.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s acquisition puts rocket fuel behind these efforts! As we combine forces, we will be examining ways over the coming months to optimize our joint product portfolios for maximum customer value.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m truly excited about the potential this news brings to our amazing customers, employees, and the best open source community in the world, WordPress.
