As a result of using Lectra solutions, the company is able to better serve its customers and honor its commitment to keeping operations within Canada.

Products from the family-owned business can be found in large department stores, specialty retailers and small boutiques. Now in its hundredth year of operation, Jack Victor continues to strike a balance between a classical and modern approach to men's fashion.
Jack Victor sought to meet growing demand in a cost efficient way while maintaining its reputation for product quality and customer service. To do so, the company decided to integrate advanced technology within its manufacturing process. "We continue to work with Lectra, our technology partner, because they offer the solutions we need at the quality level our brand demands," said Vince D'Agostino, Vice President of Operations.
The company successfully incorporates Lectra's advanced pattern-making and marker-making solutions within its product development department, to increase control, flexibility and capacity.
