Lectra promotes South America director to worldwide role
27/01/2011
Since 2005 Edouard Macquin has served as director of Lectra South America. His varied career has earned him extensive knowledge of the trade sectors relevant to Lectra’s customers, as well as an in-depth understanding of the company’s technology and services, Lectra said on announcing the development.
The company also said it was seeing “a very strong rebound” in its activity, with orders for new systems up 70% during the first nine months of 2010. Edouard Macquin will have the dual task of maintaining this profitable double-figure growth and continuing to pursue the strategy of value development, initiated in 2009 by Daniel Harari, Lectra’s CEO. Mr Harari additionally held the role of worldwide sales director at that time.
“Proximity to our customers wherever they are in the world is one of the keys to our success,” said Edouard Macquin. “By choosing our solutions, they benefit not only from innovative technologies with excellent added value, but also from our team’s extensive expertise and know-how.”
