Meamstyle expands digital garment production with Kornit Atlas MAX PLUS P
ortuguese fashion manufacturer Meamstyle has expanded its digital textile production capabilities with the installation of two Kornit Atlas MAX PLUS systems.
The second-generation family business, which was founded almost 28 years ago, has evolved from producing jersey garments such as T shirts and sweatshirts into a diversified apparel manufacturer serving the fashion, haute couture, swimwear, shirts, dresses and premium garment markets. Meamstyle operates both a full-package garment manufacturing business and a dedicated digital printing division, supporting its own production alongside external customers. The company selected the Atlas MAX PLUS platform based on its print
quality, production speed, flexibility and advanced print capabilities, with the investment intended to support faster turnaround times and more flexible manufacturing.
Pedro Mendes, chief commercial officer of Meamstyle, said: “Today, customers come to us for quality, flexibility, and technical capability. For me personally, Kornit is the benchmark for digital textile printing. We have years of experience with digital printing, and the quality, hand feel, color performance, and durability from Kornit are unmatched.”

Staff from Norty enjoys team day T
he whole Norty family enjoyed an afternoon of team-building and activities after the company invited its employees to a team day. Held at its new HQ in Livingston, which opened in April, members from the Spindle House team were joined by the company’s ambassadors to give them time away from their usual day-to-day roles.
All those who attended were split into seven teams, with each taking turns to tackle a series of high-energy and entertaining challenges.
There was plenty of competition and laughter, with prizes handed out to members of the winning team. James Homan, head of marketing and business development at Norty, said: “It was a fantastic afternoon and people genuinely had a blast. Best of all, it was wonderful to see colleagues from across the country gather in one place, connect and have some fun together as one Norty team.”
External facilitator Fiona Dewar also brought the fun as guest host for the afternoon.

The Parently Group teases trade portal
A
new trade portal has been teased to launch this ready for the Schoolwear Show as The Parently Group looks to give retail partners one place to explore and order its range. Replacing the group’s current trade site, the new portal keeps every function retailers already rely on, rebuilt around a far faster, cleaner and more user-friendly interface. From one account and a single login, retail partners can browse and buy across every brand in the group – David Luke, JUCO, Term, Grass & Air, Lelli Kelly Schoolwear and Little Classmates – spanning school, sport, outdoor and fashion. More range. Less complexity.
At the heart of the portal is a new Retailer Dashboard, giving partners complete transparency of their account – order history, invoices, credit and everything they need to know about their account in one place. Hannah Grace-Eve, head of digital sales at The Parently Group, said: “One login now opens up every brand in the group, with a dashboard that puts everything a retailer needs to know about their account in one place.”
