CTZ Laser: building competitiveness from the start
Founded four years ago, CTZ Laser specializes in sheet metal cutting and bending. Two years after starting its operations, the company began working with Almacam to improve its manufacturing processes.
For Lucas, even small improvements can make a difference. Making better use of metal sheets, calculating manufacturing costs accurately and reducing quotation response times are all important for staying competitive.
Even small things make a difference. If we can waste less material and get quotes out faster, it really helps us stay competitive.
