LECTRA: Starr Aircraft doubles throughput with Lectra

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Starr Aircraft doubles throughput with Lectra
Lectra's expertise and advanced cutting technologies enable the company to meet
increased demand for aircraft seating
Paris, January 13, 2015 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce that Starr
Aircraft has chosen Lectra's latest automated cutting technology and expertise
to boost their production capabilities.
Starr Aircraft has been a leading manufacturer of aircraft products for the
global commercial aviation sector for more than 30 years; their product
portfolio includes interior upholstery, curtains, carpet, and fire block
fabricated goods. The combination of Starr Aircraft's textile industry
experience and their use of the latest technological developments allows them to
manufacture customized parts with the speed and efficiency of a mass production
process.
"Recently, 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," explains Tim DeWitt, Director of Product Sales and
Development at Starr Aircraft.
To help Starr Aircraft reach their production goals, Lectra has set up a change
management project to streamline and optimize the company's leather-cutting
operations using the Versalis(®) solution. Lectra's experts were able to
demonstrate the improvement in workflow, hide efficiency and product quality
gained by identifying hide defects on a workstation separate from the cutting
line.
In addition to Versalis, a Vector(®) fabric-cutting solution will join Starr
Aircraft's other Lectra cutting systems in the company's 60,000 square feet
facility.
"Our company operates in a competitive market, so we must have a competitive
offer that brings innovation and dependability to our customers and we look to
partner with companies who offer the same characteristics," Tim comments. "We
have partnered with Lectra for more than 20 years, and the company continues to
offer the services and solutions that provide us with this advantage."
"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," says Céline Choussy Bedouet,
Marketing Director for Automotive, Furniture, Technical Textiles and Composite
Materials, Lectra. "The expertise, technology and support that Lectra provides
to Starr Aircraft will enable them to maintain their reputation for quality
while meeting the evolving needs of the industry. We look forward to continuing
our long-standing relationship with Starr Aircraft."
