Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and composite materials, has announced the deployment of Lectra’s Versalis cutting solution by the Italy-based Gruppo Mastrotto, the leading tannery in Europe, for its digital transformation in leather cutting and to expand the tanner’s leather-cutting capacity.
“We are pleased to be able to support Gruppo Mastrotto as it expands its manufacturing footprint in these high-growth markets. By helping Gruppo Mastrotto manage flexibility in their cutting process, we can help them reduce time to market and meet customer demands faster,” states Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing Officer, Lectra.
The company aims to gain greater flexibility and agility to meet evolving consumer demands and become even more responsive to vehicle manufacturer end-customers with the help of Lectra’s automotive leather expertise and Versalis® leather-cutting solution.

“Supplying automotive parts is not just a matter of filling orders. It is also about meeting the customer’s changing requirements, both in terms of styling and volume. The die cutters we once used would never have allowed us to keep up with the OEMs’ new demands the way our new digitalized solutions do,” avers Alberto Silvagni, Automotive General Manager, Gruppo Mastrotto.
Lectra’s Versalis enables uninterrupted hide cutting with unachievable quality and material gains using die presses. It improves flexibility and agility by removing the need for foam-model development, saving eight to 12 weeks of development time in the process. Additionally, the solution reduces cost by eliminating retooling and enabling significant material savings.
