Case Study: Gruppo Mastrotto improves leather yield and production flexibility with Lectra’s Versalis

Gruppo Mastrotto expands its digital leather-cutting footprint alongside OEMs worldwide

Gruppo Mastrotto, Europe’s leading tannery and premier automotive supplier headquartered in Arzignano, produces over 21 million m2 of bovine leather annually across 20 plants worldwide. Its automotive business unit needed greater manufacturing flexibility and optimized workflows at high‑intensity cutting rooms on three continents to keep pace with growing volumes of leather seats and interiors produced in increasingly smaller series and rapidly changing customer requirements.

By implementing Lectra’s Versalis® digital leather‑cutting solution (VERSALIS Auto), Gruppo Mastrotto modernized cutting rooms with flexible automated cutting and Industry 4.0‑ready processes. The digitalized value chain improved leather yield and production flexibility, enabled rapid handling of frequent engineering changes by developing patterns directly from digital files, and eliminated costly retooling that can take several months, boosting the company’s competitiveness worldwide.
