About The Customer
Cordeiro Campos is a family-owned textile company based in Barcelos, Portugal. Founded in 1982 by José Augusto Santos and Carolina Campos, the company initially manufactured garments for Portuguese apparel companies. Over time, it expanded to subcontracting for major international brands and eventually entered the international luxury market. The company produces womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear. With a strong focus on quality and efficiency, Cordeiro Campos has built a reputation for high-quality garments and has been recognized as one of the best small- to medium-sized businesses in Portugal.
The Challenge
Cordeiro Campos, a family-owned Portuguese textile company, faced significant challenges as it expanded into the international luxury market. The company needed to remain competitive and meet high customer expectations for quality and efficiency. Initially, the company manufactured garments by hand, which resulted in wasted time, materials, and money. The need to reduce inefficiencies and time to market became critical as the business grew rapidly.
The Solution
Cordeiro Campos partnered with Lectra in 1997, and the relationship deepened over the years. In 2010, the company adopted Lectra’s 3D virtual prototyping and visualization system to address its challenges. This technology allowed Cordeiro Campos to reduce the number of physical prototypes, saving time and material costs. The pattern-making department at Cordeiro Campos now relies heavily on Lectra’s 3D solution, which has transformed their workflow. The ability to work with flat patterns and 3D simulations simultaneously has led to more accurate finished patterns and a more consistent fit. Lectra’s team in Portugal provided training and ongoing support, ensuring that the Cordeiro Campos team could fully leverage the technology.
Operational Impact
  • Lectra’s 3D technology has significantly reduced the number of physical prototypes needed, saving time and material costs.
  • The ability to visualize entire size ranges on screen has improved the accuracy and consistency of garment fits.
  • The partnership with Lectra has enabled Cordeiro Campos to respond more quickly to customer demands and develop their own branded garments more efficiently.
  • The company has maintained strong business growth despite a challenging economy, thanks to the efficiencies gained from using Lectra’s technology.
  • Cordeiro Campos has been recognized as one of the best small- to medium-sized businesses in Portugal, partly due to its successful implementation of Lectra’s 3D solution.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced time to market by a significant margin.
  • Significant reduction in fabric costs due to fewer physical prototypes.
