Sustainability Call from Kornit Digital: ‘Be the Change’
Kornit Digital LTD., a worldwide market leader in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, today encouraged retailers and brands to “be the change” by embracing digital production to succeed in a rapidly transforming fashion and textile industry. The Company also shared findings from its second annual Impact Report issued today, reflecting an ongoing commitment to helping transform to a more sustainable and efficient business model.
Kornit’s direct-to-garment and direct-to-fabric solutions reflect the Company’s dedication to ensuring brands and retailers can succeed in an industry often defined by waste and overproduction. Through the power of high-volume, on-demand production, companies are now better able to adopt nearshoring, fix broken supply chains, and embrace the promise of virtually unlimited creativity and quality.
Fueling this change – and on display at Printing United Expo 2022 for the first time – is Kornit Atlas MAXfor high-quality mass customization, Kornit Atlas MAX POLY to transform the world of polyester and poly-blended sportswear with vibrant color, and Kornit Presto MAX to turn concepts into brilliant custom fabrics for fashion, home-décor, and other key applications.
Technology That Changes the Rules of the Game in Digital Mass Production: Kornit Apollo
Attendees also received a VIP introduction to the game changing Kornit Apollo platform for highly automated, digital mass production on demand. The end-to-end system ensures optimal total cost of ownership (TCO) and the highest output per operator, with expected availability in mid-2023. Allowing the industry to realize the promise of on-demand, end-to-end fulfillment and production is the KornitX workflow solution as well as its new Smart Curing solution for delivery of highly durable and high-quality finished products.
Jacob Smith, Co-Owner at Dye Into Print, stated, “Partnering with Kornit in DTF printing has helped us horizontally scale and expand our print-on-demand capabilities with the addition of natural fabrics. The single-step solution of the Kornit Presto S MAX has helped us further streamline our production, reduce our supply chain network, and better utilize valuable warehouse space.”
Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer at Kornit Digital, commented, “Across the industry, the laws of supply and demand are quickly reversing. No longer must retailers and brands try to sell what’s already been produced – carrying unnecessary inventory and relying on supply chains that are often damaged or broken. High-volume, on-demand production effectively addresses this challenge, all while providing the highest levels of quality, efficiency, and sustainability. For the first time in three years, we’re very excited to be in Las Vegas live to showcase how Kornit is powering this industry change.”
In conjunction with Printing United Expo, Kornit has issued its second annual Impact Report, reinforcing a commitment to long-term sustainability and underscoring its forward-looking strategy across the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance framework. This year’s report further expands the Company’s long-term roadmap for evolving the world of fashion and textiles into one that is more sustainable and highly efficient – creating a better planet for everyone.
