Lectra, a leader in industrial intelligence technology solutions for the fashion, automotive, and furniture industries, has announced that Edgecombe Furniture, a U.S.-based hospitality furniture manufacturer, has chosen Valia Furniture—Lectra’s next-generation platform for automation, workflow, and data analytics—to modernize its operations and boost productivity.
“Partnering with Lectra and implementing Valia Furniture allows us to significantly improve the flow of materials, labor, and data across our shop floor,” said Bob Phillips, CEO of Edgecombe Furniture. “Valia Furniture drives value for our customers through exceptional matching quality, reduced lead-times on small batch orders, and reduced COM requirements. This positions us well for long-term growth. This new solution also allowed us to continue working with existing patterns in our Gerber AccuMark pattern software, making onboarding much easier.” Bob added.
Renowned for its handcrafted upholstered furniture and dedication to American-made products, Edgecombe Furniture has partnered with Lectra to optimize its operations and introduce automation into critical production workflows. By integrating Valia Furniture, the company will enhance visibility across its operations, boosting flexibility, traceability, and output, while maintaining the artisanal craftsmanship that defines its brand.
Edgecombe’s benchmark analysis of Valia Furniture showed a potential 10% reduction in material consumption, already resulting in a return on investment in production. After utilizing Valia Furniture to re-nest a large job, the platform helped Edgecombe achieve $14,000 in fabric savings.
This partnership represents another significant step in Lectra’s mission to support the next generation of manufacturers by providing industry-specific, data-driven solutions that enable companies to scale confidently.
