Kornit Digital Ltd., Rosh Ha’Ayn, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Lichtenau, Germany-based Tesoma.
“Kornit is writing the operating system for on-demand sustainable fashion,” says Ronen Samuel, Kornit Digital CEO. “Digitizing the production floor is a key pillar of our strategy and the acquisition of Tesoma will allow us to continue accelerating on our mission to transform this industry, with innovative and sustainable, never-before-seen, on-demand textile production solutions.
