LUÍS BRITO Têxteis

Yearly production ranges from 700.000units to 800.000units. Internal PLM and CRM systems are seamlessly integrated with Gerber Technologies' automatic laying and cutting systems (CAD/CAM) for maximum throughput and minimal error. The company's highly skilled and motivated work force includes 4 pattern-makers and 85 workers. The current installations have a total of over 5000m2 and encompass all garment making stages: from fabric inspection and cutting to hanger storage. LBT also provides internal embroidery, digital printing and transfer placement capabilities, mainly used for sampling and small-runs. Striving to achieve the maximum quality on jersey garments, LBT provides machinery which is considered unusual for this kind of product. An example of this is the presence of Ascolite machinery and the possibility of "topper" finishing on the pressing stage. Strategic alliances formed with several smaller garment manufacturers and with leading knitters enable fast information exchange and a better overall management, leading to a clear reduction of problems and quality issues. In the same way, the strategic partnership with the fabric finishing-plant (Tintex) gives LBT an advantage in terms of delivery deadlines and innovative finishings. Tintex is, in fact, considered by many the European leader of Lyocell/Tencel jersey finishing. A 6-phase quality control enables the highest quality demands to be achieved. At the same time, a unique packaging support enables a simple use of per-shop packing and hanging garments, reducing logistic overheads. oshin-v3-abt
