French knitwear clothing manufacturer Bonneterie Chanteclair has partnered with Gerber technology to develop PPE. Since March, Gerber’s PPE Task Force has helped over 1,700 companies pivot to PPE production and helped them keep their doors open through the COVID-19 pandemic, Gerber said.
“We know digitalization and retooling are not easy. They’re very complex processes that require numerous steps,” said Olivier Austin, sales manager digital solutions for France of Gerber Technology. “Our team works with our customers to identify their needs and help implement the right technologies that will be most beneficial to them.”
Gerber worked with Bonneterie Chanteclair to digitally transform their supply chain so that it was able to keep up with the high demand for protective masks. Chanteclair acquired Gerber’s full end-to-end solution, which includes Gerber’s pattern making solution AccuMark, its automated nesting and cut planning solutions AccuNest and AccuPlan, as well as the Gerber Paragon.
“Gerber has been extremely supportive throughout this entire process,” said Chanteclair’s General Manager Thomas Delise. “Their innovative technology and team of experts have been critical throughout our transformation. We have been able to effectively digitize our entire workflow in such a short time, which is really remarkable.”
