FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Erpo modernizes production with Lectra
The German furniture manufacturer embraces a forward-thinking approach to
leather cutting with Versalis(®)
Paris, May 24, 2016 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and
composite materials, is pleased to announce that Erpo, one of Germany's leading
high-end upholstered furniture suppliers, chose Versalis(®), Lectra's innovative
leather cutting solution, and additional consulting and services to optimize
production.
A Lectra customer for ten years, Erpo has built its reputation on high quality,
highly customizable furniture. As a traditional and premium upholstered
furniture manufacturer, many of Erpo's products are produced using manual
techniques and high quality leather. Over time the company has realized that
manual nesting does not allow them to efficiently offer their customers such a
wide range of personalization options without affecting productivity or profit
margins.
Using Versalis will enable Erpo to increase productivity and optimize hide use.
One Versalis will do the same amount of work as two of Erpo's previous leather-
cutting solutions. The algorithms used in the associated automated nesting
software will enable the company to reduce material consumption by more than 5%-
a significant cost advantage considering the leather prices of the premium
segment-while securing consistent quality.
The effectiveness of Lectra's project approach was another factor in Erpo's
decision to choose Lectra. Lectra experts will work closely with Erpo to
integrate the cutting solution into the company's current production processes.
Additionally, Erpo is making use of Lectra's Smart Services, which ensure an
operational readiness of more than 90%.
"With Versalis, we will not only increase hide efficiency and cutting capacity
but, due to its integration into our overall production process, we are also
expecting a return on investment in less than sixteen months. Lectra continues
to impress us with their ability to surpass our expectations," says Klaus
Oevermann, Managing Director, Erpo.
"For years, Erpo's customers have been able to experience the satisfaction of
creating furnishings that reflect their personality thanks to the wealth of
customization options the company provides. By incorporating Versalis into their
production process, Erpo will be able to continue offering consumers the choice
and quality they have come to expect while increasing their own material savings
and production capacity. We are happy that Lectra can support them in
strengthening and securing their market position and we look forward to
developing the relationship between our companies," says Céline Choussy Bedouet,
Chief Marketing Officer, Lectra.
