“Trends such as nearshore and sustainable production that were once just buzzwords are now becoming entrenched as industry success metrics, yet producers and brands still struggle to transform vision into action,” said Ronen Samuel, CEO at Kornit Digital. “Kornit Digital directly answers surging industry demand for the highest-quality, sustainable, on-demand manufacturing at scale. Delivering real industry change and bringing the market to the next level, the world’s biggest brands can now thrive in a market where anything is possible, and consumers expect the world.”

Powering digital production at scale, the solution allows fulfillers and brands to succeed in a transforming marketplace. Fulfillers can accelerate agility, streamline production processes, and achieve advanced operational excellence, while brands benefit from more robust supply chains, dramatically streamlined operational models, and accelerated time to market.

The Apollo platform is built on customer proven and industry leading MAX technology, offering the highest retail quality combined with full automation control and integrated smart curing processes.

It is the most versatile automated solution for digital, single-step, short- to medium-run decoration of garments at high volumes, ideal for nearshore and onshore production models.
