Lectra expands its range of leather cutting solutions
27/07/2010
The company said the new products were the result of major investments in research and development. Specially designed for small-run production, the PLF and PLH cutter ranges benefit from know-how developed by Lectra for its high-end systems.
Lectra said manufacturers in leather markets are subject to increasingly tight constraints in terms of sourcing costs, stock management and product availability. For these manufacturers, it is more important than ever to reduce manufacturing times while maintaining a good ratio between quality and return on investment, regardless of how and where they manufacture their products, it continued. The ability to save on materials and improve productivity at the leather cutting stage has an immediate and major impact on production costs, while helping to create better-quality products at lower costs and in line with consumer needs.
“These new cutting solutions draw on the expertise we have acquired over more than 15 years of working with major players in the leather markets—leathergoods, technical footwear, automotive and furniture,” explained Daniel Harari, Lectra’s chief executive. “In the leather industry, every manufacturer is unique and faces its own specific problems. The hides used differ from one customer to another, as do their requirements in terms of nestings, their organisational constraints, their specific needs, and so on. Our strategy is to support our customers through teams of experts and the most advanced technologies in order to optimise their working processes.”
