Set up to mark the Group’s 50th anniversary, the Lectra Observatory has now published its first white paper: “The rise of Industry 4.0 boosts manufacturing efficiency”

The Observatory should fuel and enrich collective reflection.

Lectra, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, is a strategic partner to companies in the fashion, automotive and furniture industries. The Group supplies them with software, equipment particularly for cutting fabric and leather, data management solutions, and associated services.

“Our role is to support our customers’ digital transformation by helping them to benefit from new opportunities for growth, contributing to their success, through our industrial intelligence solutions,” explains Maria Modroño, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, Lectra.

“As the pace of technological innovation accelerates and integration of CSR into our business strategies becomes essential, we and our customers need more than ever to identify and decipher – or even anticipate – current and future changes. We need a variety of perspectives on the underlying trends that are impacting our activities and our value creation models. The creation of the Lectra Observatory reflects our desire to contribute to this very necessary collective reflection,” she says.

The Lectra Observatory’s work will focus as a priority on technological and industrial innovations, as well as on the economic, social and environmental transformation of the fashion, furniture and automotive markets. The work will be done in interaction with external experts, prioritizing an international approach. It will be made available free of charge to everyone, to encourage discussion and the emergence of new collaboration opportunities.
