Cimpress and Kornit Digital take their collaboration to the next level

ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, April 03, 2017 -- Kornit Digital, (NASDAQ:KRNT), a global market leader in digital textile printing technology, today announced a global procurement agreement with Cimpress, the world leader in mass customization.

Under the agreement, Kornit started supplying multiple Avalanche Hexa R-Series systems to Cimpress last year and will continue to do so in 2017.

The new systems will be used in several international production facilities to boost Cimpress’ production capacity as well as to expand the range of possible applications. The Avalanche Hexa R-Series is one of Kornit’s most advanced and productive technology platforms and will empower Cimpress to digitally produce more colorful and sophisticated personalized products, on a vast array of different garment types.

This agreement between Cimpress and Kornit marks a significant milestone in the ten-year relationship between both companies. Cimpress started out with Kornit Storm systems in its production facilities and over the years has expanded the systems to multiple facilities throughout Cimpress’ global manufacturing network as demand for custom apparel has grown.
