Lectra technology supports Jack Victor’s commitment to its Canadian operations
Lectra, a provider of integrated technology solutions dedicated to industries using soft materials—textiles, leather, industrial fabrics, and composite materials—is pleased to announce that Jack Victor has successfully integrated Lectra product development and production solutions within its Montreal-based manufacturing operation. As a result of using Lectra solutions, the company is able to better serve its customers and honor its commitment to keeping operations within Canada.
As an international fashion company, Jack Victor is dedicated to producing high quality menswear including tailored suits, sportcoats, trousers and formalwear. Products from the family-owned business can be found in large department stores, specialty retailers and small boutiques. Now in its hundredth year of operation, Jack Victor continues to strike a balance between a classical and modern approach to men’s fashion.
Jack Victor sought to meet growing demand in a cost efficient way while maintaining its reputation for product quality and customer service. To do so, the company decided to integrate advanced technology within its manufacturing process. “We continue to work with Lectra, our technology partner, because they offer the solutions we need at the quality level our brand demands,” said Vince D’Agostino, Vice President of Operations.
The company successfully incorporates Lectra’s advanced pattern-making and marker-making solutions within its product development department, to increase control, flexibility and capacity. Lectra’s cut order planning and optimization solutions as well as Vector® automated fabric cutters are also present within Jack Victor’s cutting department. “We have been able to optimize our cutting capacity and achieve substantial material savings, both of which help us support a growing demand and continue providing the highest quality products,” explained Mario Rosarini, Cutting Department Manager.
From process simplification to reduced material consumption to improved production time to streamlined labor costs, Jack Victor is now able to evolve with the market and maintain competitiveness.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Jack Victor, one that has lasted nearly 20 years,” said Roy Shurling, President of Lectra North America. “Lectra is proud to support the company as it endeavors to continue respecting its original values.”
