Kornit Digital Ltd., a global leader in sustainable, on-demand digital textile production, has announced the acquisition of PrintFactory, a Netherlands-based developer of cloud-native workflow and color management software. This strategic move is designed to accelerate the fashion industry's transition from analog screen-printing to agile, digital manufacturing. By integrating PrintFactory’s automation capabilities, Kornit aims to create a continuous digital ecosystem that connects demand generation, production workflow, and global fulfillment.
Strategic Acquisition: Kornit acquires PrintFactory to strengthen its "digital infrastructure" for fashion and textiles.
Targeting Screen-Printing: The move aims to digitize the massive analog screen-printing market by removing operational barriers.
Cloud-Native Workflow: PrintFactory’s platform enables unified management across mixed-technology environments, supporting over 3,500 different device models.
Scale and Consistency: The integration allows for repeatable, industrial-quality results across multiple production sites and distributed manufacturing networks.
Global Footprint: PrintFactory brings a community of over 10,000 active users and an established global install base.
Integration Timeline: The deal is expected to close in Q2 2026; PrintFactory will remain headquartered in the Netherlands and continue serving its broad non-textile customer base.
Kornit is positioning this acquisition as a milestone in its platform strategy to connect the entire textile production lifecycle. The enhanced architecture now features three distinct layers:
KornitX: Manages demand generation, order orchestration, and global fulfillment.
PrintFactory: Provides the production workflow and color infrastructure connecting to the manufacturing floor.
Kornit Technology: Powers the actual manufacturing layer with printing systems, inks, and data platforms.
This integrated approach addresses the "complexity problem" faced by large producers who must coordinate multiple technologies and maintain consistent output across different production lines.
PrintFactory’s technology helps producers run leaner operations by reducing media and ink waste through smarter file preparation and color management. For global brands, this means the ability to operate distributed manufacturing environments with predictable, high-quality results. The acquisition signals Kornit’s shift toward a more consultative, solution-oriented engagement model, helping customers design scalable digital operations from the ground up.
“This acquisition is about building the digital infrastructure the fashion industry needs to move from analog production to agile, on-demand manufacturing. We are accelerating the industry’s transition to a new production model.” — Ronen Samuel, CEO of Kornit Digital
“Joining Kornit opens an exciting new chapter. Kornit’s global reach and platform vision will accelerate our roadmap and significantly expand the value we deliver to customers worldwide.” — Erik Strik, CEO of PrintFactory
