World's high technology solutions provider Lectra has announced that as part of its strategy of enhancing proximity with customers and strengthening its presence in Asia, Lectra opened its new Tokyo office dedicated to fashion professionals.
A long-time partner of Japanese apparel-sector manufacturers, Lectra demonstrates its commitment to becoming the leading supplier of design and collections management solutions by strengthening its presence in Tokyo–the design capital of Asia.
The inauguration of the Tokyo office took place on March 27 in the presence of Lectra CEO, Daniel Harari, Lectra Asia-Pacific Director, Jean-Luc Aubert and Claudio Saita, Director of Lectra's Japanese subsidiary, who welcomed representatives of approximately 20 Japanese apparel companies, including Takeshi Hirouchi, CEO of Onward Kashiyama–the largest of those companies–and journalists representing the specialized and economic press.
“With the opening of the Tokyo office, we are entering a new phase in our development in the Japanese fashion market,” explained Daniel Harari.
Lectra has been present in Japan for more than 20 years and currently serves more than 400 customers in the country. In 2005 the company's 2005 revenues in Japan totaled approximately $15 million. Lectra has eight offices and 35 employees in Japan.
“As a complement to our Osaka headquarters and our other offices in Japan, these new Tokyo offices will allow us to work closely with major apparel customers and to build projects with them that address their new challenges,” declared Claudio Saita.
