ROSH-HA''AYIN,
Israel, Jan. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Kornit Digital (NASDAQ:KRNT), a global
market leader in digital textile printing technology, has announced that its
installed base in China has exceeded 125 systems.Kornit’s customer base in
China includes renowned brands such as JNBY, LILANZ, JoeOne and Seven Brand.
Many Chinese Kornit users produce high-margin fashion pieces digitally, either
for their own distribution or for leading brands around the globe, benefitting
from the current trends affecting the textile supply chain: mass customization,
direct-to-consumer sales models, drastically reduced delivery times, and a
strong influence of social media on buying decisions. Typical products produced
with the help of Kornit’s industrial-grade technology are jeans, pants, socks,
stockings, footwear and functional sportswear.
Kornit’s President of the Asia Pacific region, Buck Kim, comments: “Over the
years, Kornit has made significant investments in its infrastructure and manpower
in China. We are happy to see that more than 100 Kornit users across the
country value our efforts and chose us as their textile printing technology
partner. The Chinese government has announced an extensive modernization of the
country until 2050, restricting traditional, polluting industries in favor of
environmentally-friendly and sustainable production. Kornit’s digital printing
processes, compared to conventional methods, save enormous amounts of
wastewater, chemicals and overproduction and make the textile industry cleaner
– that’s
why we expect significant continued growth for years to come.”Kornit’s business
activities in China began in 2006, when the first direct-to-garment systems
were delivered to Chinese users. Kornit celebrated quick successes, and in
order to improve service levels and optimize system uptime and reliability, the
company founded a service hub in Hong Kong in late 2009. Kornit increased its
business activities in China in 2015, by opening a national headquarters in
Shanghai with all relevant functions, such as sales, service, logistics,
marketing and application consulting.
The best-selling Kornit model in China is the Storm series, which offers a
range of industrial mid-range direct-to-garment printing capabilities,
available in several configurations with throughputs between 120 and 190 light
garments per hour. The Storm Hexa, for example, features a CMYK, Red, Green
plus White configuration which makes it ideal for color-conscious applications.
Many of Kornit’s systems are equipped with advanced technology features such as
recirculating ink systems, integrated air humidifiers, quick pallet replacement
systems and more.

unique direct-to-fabric system Allegro also made its way into the Chinese
market. The system is 1.80m wide, and is based on Kornit’s NeoPigmentTM printing technology, which eliminates pre-
