Kornit Digital Ltd. has announced its acquisition of PrintFactory, a global technology leader of cloud-native workflow, colour management and production automation software. The acquisition represents a strategic step in Kornit’s mission to accelerate the digital transformation of the global fashion and textile industry. By integrating PrintFactory’s automation capabilities into its platform, Kornit strengthens its ability to connect demand generation, production workflow and fulfillment into one continuous digital ecosystem. The global screen-printing market represents one of the largest production segments in apparel decoration, yet it remains heavily dependent on analog processes.
While demand for digital production continues to accelerate, many large producers still face significant operational barriers when transitioning from traditional production processes to digital manufacturing, including managing complex workflows, the need to coordinate multiple technologies, streamlining connectivity within IT environments, and overcoming the challenge of maintaining consistent production output across different production lines. PrintFactory’s technology addresses these gaps. PrintFactory’s platform enables unified production workflow management and consistent output across mixed technology environments, allowing producers to operate with predictable results regardless of the technologies deployed on the production floor. By simplifying the transition to digital production, the acquisition supports Kornit’s strategy to penetrate the massive screen-printing market and unlock significant growth opportunities. PrintFactory is currently deployed across thousands of production sites worldwide, supporting over 3,500 different models of printing and cutting devices.
