Kornit Digital has kicked off Konnections 2026 in Hollywood, Florida, welcoming over 500 leaders from the global apparel ecosystem. The three-day event serves as a strategic summit for brands, creators, and fulfillment providers focused on transitioning the industry from traditional forecast-driven production to agile, on-demand manufacturing. Against the backdrop of a fragmented and fast-moving digital market, Kornit is positioning its latest hardware and software innovations as the essential infrastructure for this structural shift.
Product Launch: Introduction of Atlas MATRIX, a breakthrough system capable of high-quality on-demand production across cotton, polyester, and blends on a single platform.
Infrastructure Strategy: Highlighting the acquisition of PrintFactory, a cloud-native platform that ensures color consistency across both digital and analog production environments.
Targeting Screen-Printing: The combined power of Atlas MATRIX and PrintFactory is designed to help analog screen-printers transition to digital at scale.
Global Ecosystem: Attendees include leaders from Amazon, Legends, Custom Ink, Redbubble, and Zumiez, representing the full apparel value chain.
Keynote Speakers: High-profile sessions featuring Nick Beighton (former ASOS CEO), Alex Saltonstall (CEO of Printful/Printify), and entrepreneur Daymond John.
Solutions Showcase: Live demonstrations of Atlas MATRIX, Apollo, and Presto MAX PLUS, alongside robotics and automation partners.
The unveiling of Atlas MATRIX marks a significant technical milestone for the industry. Historically, digital production often required different systems or inks for different fabric types. Atlas MATRIX enables consistent, retail-quality results across all major fabric categories within one system. By removing the need to switch platforms for different materials, Kornit is addressing a major bottleneck that has previously prevented large-scale digital adoption among industrial producers.
Kornit’s vision extends beyond individual machines to a fully integrated digital infrastructure. By pairing the Atlas MATRIX manufacturing layer with the PrintFactory workflow layer and the KornitX fulfillment layer, the company is creating a "demand-to-door" pipeline. This approach allows brands to respond to market trends in real time, virtually eliminating inventory risk and significantly reducing the waste associated with overproduction.
“We are witnessing the gradual decline of traditional production models and the emergence of a new era in apparel manufacturing. Production is increasingly moving closer to demand, enabled by digital infrastructure connecting demand generation, production, and fulfillment.” — Ronen Samuel, CEO of Kornit Digital
Konnections 2026 underscores that on-demand production is no longer a niche segment for creators but a business requirement for global brands seeking to improve margins and sustainability. The presence of major sports and fashion leaders suggests that the industry is moving toward a distributed manufacturing model, where software-governed facilities can produce consistent quality regardless of their geographic location.
