Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
In collaboration with Fashion Enter, Kornit Digital will deliver a fully interactive, real-time production experience at Leicester Made 2025.
Taking place on May 14 at Athena in Leicester, the event brings together top retailers, manufacturers, NGOs, educators, and policymakers to celebrate and accelerate the growth of responsible, UK-based fashion production.
At the heart of the event, Kornit will deliver a fully interactive, real-time production experience. Up to 100 attendees will create bespoke T shirt designs live, transmitted instantly to The T-Shirt Company for printing using Kornit’s sustainable direct to garment technology, and returned within hours.
This showcase will be powered by the Kornit Atlas Max, a high-performance DTG system that combines industrial reliability with unmatched print quality. Featuring XDi technology, Atlas MAX enables dimensional graphic effects – emulating screen printing, vinyl, and embroidery in a single, automated system. Designed for efficiency, it reduces cost, floor space, and waste while maximising throughput and profitability.
Another element to the event is a catwalk show. In partnership with De Montfort University, six emerging designers will be able to design their own bespoke fabric which will be digitally printed to create original pieces for the Leicester Made catwalk. Their work will spotlight the creative potential of Kornit’s roll-to-roll innovation and the role of digital technology in empowering the next generation of talent.
These garments will be produced using the Kornit Presto Max, the most advanced roll-to-roll digital textile solution on the market. With XDi-powered applications, brilliant whites on darks, and a vivid colour spectrum, Presto Max unlocks limitless design possibilities while setting a new standard for sustainability and efficiency in textile decoration.
Guy Yaniv, president EMEA, Kornit Digital, will join the CEO Roundtable, hosted by MP Liz Kendall, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. This invitation-only discussion will gather industry leaders to explore how innovation, ethics, and local supply chains can drive the next era of UK manufacturing.
Kornit’s chief product officer Danny Gazit will also participate in the event’s Technology & Innovation Panel, offering insight into how digitization and automation are enabling more agile, responsive, and sustainable fashion supply chains. Additionally, Mr Yaniv will present a dedicated keynote address, sharing insights on how it is possible to harness the digital revolution for sustainable profitable growth in the fashion supply chain.
Mr Yaniv, president EMEA, Kornit Digital, said: “Speed, agility, sustainability, and creativity are the new foundations of fashion – and Leicester Made is the ideal stage to demonstrate what’s possible.
“Together with Fashion-Enter, we’re proud to showcase the talent, technology, and partnerships driving the future of on-demand production.”
Jenny Holloway, CEO of Fashion-Enter, added: “This partnership reflects what’s possible when innovation meets opportunity. 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.”
