Takedown Inc., a sportswear company specialising in wrestling, has installed two Kornit printers in order to expand its on-demand, e-commerce business.
The Georgia-based firm has invested in an Avalanche HD6 and an Avalanche Poly Pro. The former is designed to provide ‘an efficient, eco-friendly, single-step process to imprint several different fabrics at the push of a button.’ The latter extends that proposition with what Kornit calls ‘the industry’s only DTG system developed specifically for dark polyester and poly blends,’ making it well suited to the production of modern sportswear.
Takedown Inc. was founded in 2005 as a supplier to the wrestling market. In the years since it has invested in dye-sublimation, embroidery and sewing technology and its e-commerce operation has continued to expand as a result. In 2020, its product line grew to include imprinted facial masks and other personal protective equipment as a result of the pandemic.
‘We are very excited to have this new Kornit system up and running,’ said founder and CEO Dustin Kawa. ‘At Takedown, it’s always our highest priority to provide our clients with exceptional service utilizing the latest printing technology.’
Chuck Meyo, president of Kornit Digital Americas added, ‘Kornit is synonymous with the best of the best in fast, clean, profitable, on-demand production, and we’re prepared to go to the mat with any supplier that thinks they have what it takes. We welcome Takedown Inc. to the Kornit customer family, are proud to offer the capabilities around which they’ll grow their business, and look forward to tag-teaming the challenges and opportunities of the booming sportswear market in the digital age.’
