Lectra applauds Under Armour leadership

13/09/2016
Sports brand Under Armour has chosen automated cutting technology provider Lectra as an
official partner for its Lighthouse manufacturing and design centre.

Under Armour has said it aims to turn the Lighthouse facility into a collaborative space for designers and
manufacturers to develop innovative methods for making and delivering product, which can then be shared with partner factories around the world.

Among the technologies in use there will be Lectra’s advanced cutting-room solutions, in particular, the Brio fabric spreader and the Vector fabric-cutting machine.

“This partnership is the start of what we hope will be a long and fruitful relationship between two like-minded global companies,” said Lectra’s president for North America, Jason Adams. “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 honoured to be involved in the launch of such an ambitious project.”
