Lectra expands projects role
03/06/2009
Textile industry technology provider Lectra has appointed Hervé Claverie as director of projects and strategic accounts worldwide.
As world markets evolve, the company explained on announcing the appointment, manufacturers are moving towards implementing more fully integrated processes from the design phase through the industrialisation and production stages to the moment when the final product is brought to market.
Lectra’s projects and strategic accounts team is dedicated to supporting its major clients in the analysis and evaluation of their internal processes. The team aims to
propose new organisational methods and innovative ways of improving productivity and quality, while helping customers reduce costs and shorten the time-to-market of their products.
Commenting on this, Hervé Claverie said: “In the current macroeconomic climate, it is more important than ever for companies to implement technology and value-added solutions that enable them to dramatically increase their competitive advantage and support their sales strategy.”
The company’s chief executive, Daniel Harari, said on announcing the new appointment: “By strengthening our projects and strategic accounts team, Lectra once again demonstrates a desire to be at the forefront of market trends and work in perfect harmony with the expectations of our customers in optimising the design and production processes of a product. With his excellent technical skills and his knowledge of our markets and customers, Hervé will provide our major clients with the support required for their strategic development. I know he will succeed in all his projects, using the know-how of Lectra’s teams and the company’s worldwide presence.”
Since joining Lectra in 2005, Hervé Claverie has held various marketing management positions across the hardware and software divisions. In June 2008, he took responsibility for projects and strategic accounts in the fashion industry. His role has now been extended to all Lectra’s markets—fashion,
automotive, furniture and industrial fabric.
