Kornit Digital, a provider of on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, signed a strategic partnership with MAS Holdings via subsidiary MAS ACME USA, a supply chain orchestration hub, to serve sustainable fashion and apparel brands.

According to the companies, the deal will empower MAS customers, retailers, and brands to “quickly realize the vision of data-driven fashion production and become both more sustainable and profitable.”

The commercial agreement directly aligns Kornit with MAS Holdings, a provider of fashion and sportswear apparel manufacturing, and uniting Kornit’s digital on-demand production with MAS’ supply chain and data diagnostics.

“Fashion is the world’s oldest, largest, most complex supply chain, yet it is fundamentally broken and riddled with inefficiency — we believe the need for change is urgent. This strategic agreement offers the industry a proven alternative to overproduction, waste, and disrupted supply chains,” said Ronen Samuel, chief executive officer at Kornit Digital. “Kornit and MAS ACME USA share a common thread, a commitment to ‘make fashion better.’ I am delighted to see Kornit’s industry-leading on-demand solutions paired with MAS’ pioneering approach to supply chains and manufacturing data diagnostics. Together, we unlock what the industry needs – a clear pathway to more responsible, profitable, and agile fashion production.”

“MAS ACME USA has demonstrated the power of end-to-end supply chain data diagnostics for our large brand and retailer clients, modeling how they can optimize their manufacturing strategy and increase profits by postponing a portion of production until much later, when the demand forecast is most accurate. Kornit’s digital production systems were exactly the solution we needed to realize our vision of onshore, fully demand-driven production to meet the market needs expeditiously,” said Brad Ballentine, CEO of MAS ACME USA.

Ballentine continued, “From the moment I met the Kornit team and experienced the power and quality of their solutions, I knew they were the right partner for us. We share a common vision to build a global supply chain capability that offers unprecedented flexibility and the power to transform the fashion industry into a smarter, more efficient engine. We are thrilled to announce this agreement and excited to start digital production for our customers in the U.S. market.”
