Italian knitwear manufacturer invests in Lectra software

20/01/2016
Italian apparel manufacturer New Twins, which specialises in knitwear and hosiery, has invested in Fashion PLM software from Lectra. New Twins has said it wants to use the software to connect its product development team with its customers in the creative department at cashmere and knitwear brand Falconeri, part of the Calzedonia group. New Twins prides itself on its use of quality materials and production know-how.

Falconeri is a growing knitwear brand and as the complexity and volume of orders increase, New Twins has said it needs a way to improve workflow between its own teams and Falconeri’s, so that the two companies can work together efficiently as one cohesive team.

“Our development team is largely technical and follows a very different production model to the one Falconeri uses,” said New Twins’ project manager, Stefano Modena, on announcing the investment. “We needed a reliable information system that would synchronise processes across different teams, different departments and even different companies. We looked at a few PLM systems but we chose Lectra, not just because the technology suited our needs, but also because we were impressed with the company’s depth of expertise and the way its recommendations took both people and process into account.”
