The clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the planes we fly in, and the furniture in our homes.
We may not often think about how these things are made.
But that’s not the case for Lenny Marano, Lectra president of Americas.
“We're a strategic partner to those in the fashion, the furniture, and the automotive value streams,” Marano said.
Lectra, a Paris-based technology company, acquired Gerber in 2021.
In April, Lectra officially reopened a manufacturing facility in Tolland. The move came after outsourcing manufacturing to Massachusetts in 2018.
“Since Lectra bought us, we know that we have a permanent home and we can make long term investments,” Marano said.
