Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hybrid Digital Utilizes Kornit Digital’s Apollo Platform

— October 7, 2024 — Eco
Kornit Digital, a leader in sustainable digital fashion technologies, has announced that Hybrid Digital, a division of Hybrid Apparel, is expanding its use of Kornit’s automated direct-to-garment platform — Apollo. This move further reinforces Hybrid Digital's shift from analog to digital production, enhancing the brand's ability to meet the growing demands of online retail for fast turnaround times and efficient inventory management. By adopting the automated direct-to-garment platform, Hybrid Digital aims to bolster its competitiveness in the on-demand apparel market as it will be able to offer high-quality garments with shorter production cycles.

Hybrid Digital’s ongoing transition to digital methods is driven by the need to keep pace with the evolving retail landscape, which prioritizes quick delivery and minimal waste. The Kornit Apollo system helps achieve this by streamlining production processes, reducing lead times, and enabling the company to better serve major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kohl’s.
