Lectra appoints new Middle East and North Africa director
France-based leather industry technology provider Lectra has appointed Jean-Patrice Gros as director of the Middle East and North Africa region.
“Appointing Jean-Patrice Gros at the head of this region, with Turkey at the forefront, demonstrates our commitment in supporting this high-potential area. Turkey has been a major partner of many European fashion brands for several decades and has recently benefited from investments in the automotive sector, it is a flagship country for Lectra,” said Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO. “Renowned for the quality of its production, Turkey is the European Union’s second supplier of textile-clothing, behind China. Based on a dynamic internal market, the country continues to evolve into developing its own international fashion brands and automobile production centres. Lectra intends to introduce soon its PLM offer for fashion and its new automotive leather cutting solutions. These solutions, with high added value, will provide a real lever to develop and transform Mediterranean companies.”
