TKNP Inc · Merch better, faster, further

The KosmosNetwork Project.

We make great merch effortless for organizations.

One platform, tknp.io, to create, order and reorder custom apparel — and a network of specialist decorators to produce it. Built by people who ran a printing workshop for eighteen years.

  • tknp.io · beta open, seven languages
  • A crew of five
  • Montpellier, France · Sept 2026

01The problem

Ordering custom apparel is still a project in itself.

Thousands of garments, a dozen decoration techniques, files to check, proofs to approve, quotes to compare, emails and calls to chase — and the next order starts again from zero. Organizations lose weeks, and sometimes give up.

Decorators lose too: days spent quoting and chasing files instead of producing, and briefs that arrive half-ready. The craft is there. The access to qualified, well-prepared projects is not.

Mission

Make great merch effortless for organizations and unlock growth for decorators.

Vision

Become every organization's official merch platform.

02The platform

tknp.io — create, order, reorder. Selling comes next.

The ambition: one global platform to create, (re)order, and sell custom apparel in minutes, not weeks. Here is what is open today.

  1. 01Open now

    Create

    Pick a garment from more than 3,700 references, place your logo in the online studio, and see the price with decoration included — from ten pieces.

  2. 02Open now

    Order

    Choose your lead time, pay online, follow production and delivery from your account. Anything beyond the catalog gets a priced quote within 24 hours.

  3. 03Open now

    Reorder

    Every piece stays in your organization's wardrobe. The next season, the new recruits, the second event: same design, one order.

  4. 04Coming next

    Sell

    The next chapter of the platform. We'll tell you more the day it opens.

03The network

Specialist decorators, coordinated by people who know the trade.

Embroidery, screen printing, DTF transfer, direct-to-garment, woven patches: each technique has its craft and its right workshop. TKNP briefs the job, checks the files and follows production through to delivery, so an organization deals with one responsible party. Decorators receive a brief that is ready to run.

18 years of industry expertise built into one platform, backed by a network of specialist decorators.

  • Embroidery

    Thread, density, backing: the logo stitched to last, on polos, caps and jackets.

  • Screen printing

    Ink pulled through the mesh, colour by colour — the classic for large runs.

  • Transfer & DTF

    Full colour, fine detail, small runs: pressed onto the garment in seconds.

04The team

Five founders, one crew.

TKNP was born in a textile printing workshop in Montpellier. The people building it have sold, produced and shipped merch for years — now they are building the platform they wished they had.

Alexandre Kosmala

Founder & CEO · Strategy · Product · Technology

Eighteen years running Main Gauche, his own textile printing workshop — printing, embroidering, packing, delivering, invoicing — before founding TKNP. He sets the direction and shaped the product from the first line: the catalog, the pricing, the studio. The trade is what the platform is built on.

    Montpellier · HybridEmployeeApprenticeshipInternship

    With Gabriel · Head of Sales

    Join a high-potential company: a platform that makes merchandising simple for organizations. The team is tight, the ambition is big, and every hire counts. You guide organizations (clubs, companies, associations) from their first question to their first order. Comfortable on the phone and in writing, you listen to a need before you pitch.

    Operations & Customer Success

    Montpellier · HybridEmployeeApprenticeshipInternship

    With Ophélie · Head of Operations

    Order coordination, support and customer success. A first profile can combine order coordination and customer relations, with an operational lead — the three activities stay distinct, and nobody is expected to absorb all of them without priorities.

    • Support: the daily questions, and problems solved for good.
    • Customer success: satisfaction, anticipated needs, restocks and reorders.
