Award for Lectra

17/10/2014
Cutting technology and software provider Lectra has won recognition from consultancy firm EY. It named Lectra as International Company of the Year for the south-west France region in its Entrepreneur of the Year Awards programme.

EY’s awards programme now spans 58 countries; this was the twenty-second year the prize was awarded in France.

Lectra chief executive, Daniel Harari, described his company as “transnational”, with 32 subsidiaries outside France and more than 1,400 employees representing 50 different nationalities. But he also said Lectra has maintained strong local roots too, preserving its French DNA with its headquarters based in Paris and its production and research facilities in Cestas, south of Bordeaux.
