Lectra, a leading provider of Industry 4.0 solutions for the fashion, furniture, and textile industries, recently celebrated the opening of its new manufacturing facility in Tolland, Connecticut.

The implementation of operations in this facility marks a significant milestone in Lectra's strategic roadmap for 2023-2025 as the company accelerates its efforts to bring manufacturing in-house to improve quality and customer satisfaction.

The Tolland facility will manufacture Lectra's complete line of single ply cutters, including the Z1, Taurus, and DCS series, in-house. This will enable Lectra to meet customer demands more efficiently, reducing lead times by 60 percent. The company's investment in inventory, coupled with a transition towards leaner and more modern production systems, will also result in a higher quality service for customers.

The Tolland facility will enable Lectra to reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to the design of eco-responsible offers, as part of the company's global commitment to sustainability.
