Technology solutions expert Lectra to collaborate with global performance brand
to push boundaries of innovation
Paris, September 13, 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 US-based global performance
brand Under Armour has chosen Lectra as an official partner for its
manufacturing and design center, the UA Lighthouse, which opened on June 28 in
Baltimore, Maryland. The new facility will showcase the latest technology and
serve as an incubator for creating state-of-the-art product with efficient
manufacturing methods.
Under Armour, the originator of performance footwear, apparel and equipment,
revolutionized how athletes across the world dress. Designed to make all
athletes better, the brand's innovative apparel and footwear products are sold
worldwide to athletes at all levels.
The 35,000 square-foot UA Lighthouse will provide a collaborative space for
designers and manufacturers to learn and develop new and innovative methods for
making and delivering product, which can then be shared with global teammates
and partner factories.
A proud partner of the Lighthouse project, Lectra shares Under Armour's
commitment to helping manufacturers and brands attain operational excellence and
deliver better products to market faster. The Lighthouse will employ Lectra's
advanced cutting-room solutions, in particular, the Brio fabric spreader and the
Vector(®) fabric-cutting machine. Vector is empowered by Lectra's innovative
Smart Services, which provides enhanced visibility to the production processes
through remote monitoring. This predictive technology optimizes machine up-time
and production.
"This partnership is the start of what we hope will be a long and fruitful
relationship between two like-minded global companies. Our technology is very
much in line with where Under Armour wants to take manufacturing. As a company
that also strives to push the boundaries of innovation, we applaud the
leadership Under Armour has shown and we are honored to be involved in the
launch of such an ambitious project," says Jason Adams, President, Lectra North
America.
