Kornit Digital Ltd. (Kornit) announced its acquisition of PrintFactory, a global Netherlands-based technology leader of cloud-native workflow, color 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.

PrintFactory’s platform enables a unified production workflow management and consistent output across mixed technology environments, allowing producers to operate with predictable results. 

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. Its workflow and color management capabilities enable producers to maintain reliable quality across different locations, technologies, and production environments. 

PrintFactory’s platform helps producers streamline operations — from file preparation through final output — reducing media and ink waste, while enabling production environments that run faster, leaner, and more consistently. 

By combining workflow automation, color management infrastructure, and production technology, Kornit can better support customers in designing and operating scalable digital manufacturing operations.

The acquisition further supports Kornit’s strategic shift toward consultative, solution-oriented engagement with customers across the production value chain.

“This acquisition is about more than workflow or color management,” said Ronen Samuel, CEO of Kornit Digital. “It is about building the digital infrastructure the fashion industry needs to move from analog production to agile, on-demand manufacturing. By connecting demand generation, production workflow and manufacturing through one integrated platform, we are accelerating the industry’s transition to a new production model.”

Erik Strik, CEO of PrintFactory, added, “For more than three decades, PrintFactory has focused on solving real workflow and production challenges for professional print operations. Joining Kornit opens an exciting new chapter. Kornit’s global reach, innovation culture and platform vision will accelerate our roadmap and significantly expand the value we deliver to customers worldwide.”

Upon closing, expected in the second quarter 2026, PrintFactory will continue to operate from its headquarters in the Netherlands and will maintain its commitment to an open, technology‑agnostic platform, serving its existing global customer base and partners across all markets.
