Press Release

Following the favorable evolution of the wildfire situation in Gironde region and the gradual lifting of the restrictions announced today by the authorities, Lectra has resumed operations at its Bordeaux-Cestas site, which had been temporarily closed since July 27, 2026. No damage has been identified at the Group’s facilities, and operations are resuming under normal operating conditions.

As part of the preventive evacuation measures decided by the Gironde authorities in response to the ongoing fires in southwestern France, Lectra announces the temporary closure of its Bordeaux-Cestas site.

Lectra has analyzed data from Retviews, its AI-powered solution specializing in competitive intelligence and automated benchmarking, to identify the latest fashion trends and how brands are adapting their strategies and pricing to navigate an increasingly complex landscape.

Lectra announced that Goodwill South Florida has implemented Valia Manufacturing, Lectra’s new cloud-based solution  to modernize and automate cutting room operations, marking a significant step forward in efficiency and operational performance that will yield nearly a 99% reduction in cutting room planning time.

At Lectra’s Combined Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2026, two new Board members, Christophe Gégout and Fiorangelo Salvatorelli, were appointed for a four-year term. 

Their appointments reflect the Group’s ambition to strengthen its governance to support the implementation of its 2026–2028 strategic roadmap. Both join Lectra’s Strategic Committee and AI Committee, recently created, bringing complementary expertise in investment, finance, strategy and new technologies to the Group. Christophe Gégout will also become a member of the Audit Committee.

Lectra announces the launch of a new version of Retviews, its AI-powered market intelligence solution designed for fashion brands. In a market that is becoming increasingly complex and with pressure on brands intensifying, this new version serves as a true strategic ally. It aims to support decision-making, optimize sales performance, and strengthen brand value.
