Lectra, known for providing software, cutting equipment, and data analytics solutions, sees this partnership as a key step in its efforts to lead the Industry 4.0 revolution.

As part of the partnership, Lectra will acquire an 18% stake in Six Atomic through a $2.5m capital increase, with options to further increase its investment to support Six Atomic’s future growth.

Six Atomic, founded in 2020, offers AI-powered SaaS solutions that streamline and accelerate garment design processes, allowing fashion brands to optimise their product development timelines.

By automating time-consuming tasks and creating modular pattern libraries, Six Atomic’s technologies improve collaboration and efficiency throughout the design process, reducing the time needed to finalise collections. This AI-driven approach is said to help fashion companies better utilise their patternmakers’ expertise and existing data assets, enhancing team productivity.

“Partnering with Lectra, a major player in the fashion industry, aligns with our vision of product development for the Industry 4.0 era,” said Six Atomic co-founders Taime Koe and Marc Close. Lectra’s global reach and customer base are expected to accelerate the market rollout of Six Atomic’s solutions.

Maximilien Abadie, chief strategy officer and chief product officer of Lectra, praised Six Atomic for combining AI expertise with deep fashion industry knowledge. “Together, we will drive technological innovation for fashion companies,” he stated.
