Starr Aircraft chooses Lectra to help manage growing leather demand
14/01/2015
The US company has been making aircraft products for 30 years and clients include Boeing, Delta and American Airlines.
Tim DeWitt, director of sales and development at Starr Aircraft, said: “We have seen an increasing number of customers move to leather seating. In order to meet this rise in demand, we needed a solution that would double our capacity and allow room for continued growth, all without expanding our operational hours."
Starr chose the Versalis machine and a Vector fabric-cutting solution for its 60,000 square feet facility.
"The Lectra team understands that quality products are the backbone of Starr Aircraft's success and have afforded them the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies in the airline industry," added Celine Choussy Bedouet, a marketing director at Lectra.
