Case Study: ASTRO Apparel maintains ISO standards and cuts marker-making cycle time nearly 20% with Lectra

Astro Apparel Group Maintains ISO Standards Through Its 30 Year Partnership With Lectra

ASTRO Apparel Group, a family-run U.S. manufacturer founded in 1946, is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and produces about 1.5 million garments annually for school uniforms and menswear. To preserve its certified quality and stay competitive amid increasingly complex fabrics and production requirements, ASTRO needed to modernize its design and product-development capabilities.

Building on a 30-year partnership, Lectra provided updated design, pattern and marker-making solutions (Kaledo, Modaris, Diamino). Upgrading Diamino cut marker-making cycle time by nearly 20%, increased overall productivity by 20% and delivered at least 1% fabric savings, improving pre-production efficiency and time-to-market while maintaining ASTRO’s high garment quality.
