South Korean airbags manufacturer Kolon Industries is investing in three FocusQuantum laser cutting solutions from Lectra, at two of its production plants in Asia. One will be installed for cut and sew fabric, for its new facility in Vietnam and the other two, for one piece woven (OPW) fabric at an existing site in Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.

The South Korean company aims to double global airbag sales by 2020, by investing in advanced laser cutting solutions at these two Asian plants.

Kolon has been using Lectra’s laser cutting technologies in its airbag business since 2004, and has installed more than 20 Lectra Focus airbag cutters across multiple plants in Asia and North America.

The automotive supplier expressed interest in the FocusQuantum shortly after launch and also after evaluating various alternatives in the market, as the FocusQuantum offers state-of-the-art cutting preparation software and value-added professional services. (AR)
