Kornit Digital, a global leader in sustainable on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, has announced a strategic collaboration with Fashion-Enter for Leicester Made 2025 - a UK showcase for ethical and future-ready fashion manufacturing.

Scheduled for 14th May 2025 at Athena in Leicester, the event unites leading retailers, manufacturers, policymakers, NGOs, and educators to spotlight innovation in local, responsible fashion production.

At the centre of this year’s event, Kornit will host a live customisation experience in partnership with The T-Shirt Company. Attendees will design bespoke T-shirts in real-time, which will be printed on-site using Kornit’s Atlas MAX direct-to-garment (DTG) technology and returned within hours. The Atlas MAX features XDi technology for dimensional effects that mimic screen printing, vinyl, and embroidery—delivering efficiency, quality, and sustainability in a compact solution.

Further innovation comes via a student catwalk collaboration with De Montfort University. Six emerging designers will use Kornit’s Presto MAX roll-to-roll system to digitally print custom fabrics for exclusive runway pieces. This technology offers vibrant whites on darks, a broad colour gamut, and sustainable performance without compromise.

The event also brings together thought leaders in UK manufacturing. Guy Yaniv, Kornit’s President EMEA, will participate in a CEO roundtable hosted by Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Liz Kendall, focused on how ethics and innovation can strengthen local supply chains. Yaniv will also deliver a keynote address on digital transformation in fashion, while Chief Product Officer Danny Gazit joins the Technology & Innovation Panel to discuss automation’s role in building agile, responsive supply chains.

“Speed, agility, sustainability, and creativity are the new foundations of fashion—and Leicester Made is the ideal stage to demonstrate what’s possible,” said Guy Yaniv.

Jenny Holloway, CEO of Fashion-Enter Ltd., added: “Kornit shares our mission to empower ethical, scalable UK manufacturing, and together we’re giving designers, students, and retailers the tools to lead with purpose.”
