Press Release

OnceMore® from Södra, the world’s first large-scale process for recycling blended fabrics into high‑quality dissolving pulp, will begin using TextileGenesis, a Lectra company, to strengthen traceability from raw material to retail across the value chain. OnceMore® produces dissolving pulp made from blended textile waste and wood sourced from responsibly managed Swedish forests. By integrating TextileGenesis, OnceMore® supports the growing need for verified data and secure, transparent tracking throughout increasingly complex supply chain.

The Lectra Observatory has published a new white paper entitled “The challenges of product development in the fashion industry”. The report deep dives into three decisive factors – talent and knowledge transfer, data-driven decision-making, and the connection between design and production – as essential drivers for accelerating innovation and operational excellence.

Six months after beginning its collaboration with Lectra, Chicago Protective Apparel (CPA) is already seeing transformative results. After implementing Lectra’s Valia Fashion—its intelligent cloud‑based solution—and the Vector Fashion iX6 automated cutting solution, CPA has achieved measurable ROI through material savings and improved operational efficiency. 

Tariffs, inflation, and value-oriented purchasing: it is in this context that the mid-market is establishing itself as a new driver for the fashion industry. Lectra analyzed data from Retviews, its artificial intelligence-based solution specializing in competitive intelligence and automatic benchmarking, to identify the trends and pricing strategies that brands are implementing in the Fall/Winter 2025/2026 season to cope with an ever-changing macroeconomic scenario. 

Growth in recurring revenues and operational resilience
