Tieto and Lecta: A long-term partnership driving lean, green, and competitive operations
Lecta is a leading European manufacturer and distributor of specialty papers for labels and flexible packaging, as well as coated and uncoated papers for publishing and commercial printing, alongside other high-value innovative products.
Challenge
The paper industry is under intense pressure
The paper industry is facing structural pressures, including increasing sustainability expectations, margin constraints, and market volatility.
Lecta operates as a multinational group with six mills across Spain and Italy. All Lecta mills are certified according to the strictest international standards, reflecting the company’s strong commitment to quality and sustainability.
In recent years, Lecta has been undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a primarily fine paper supplier to a leading player in specialty papers for labelling and packaging.
Customer quote
To succeed in business transformation and the harmonization of key processes, we need a reliable, long-term partner. Tieto has proven to meet this need—our collaboration of over 30 years is the best evidence of that.
Xavier Ballard, CIO at Lecta
Empowering partnership
Xavier Ballard emphasizes that Lecta values a partnership built on shared ownership of technology services, rather than a consultant-heavy model, and one that actively supports capability building for the future.
Solution
Innovating for the future
Supporting Lecta in addressing the challenges is at the core of the partnership.
“No system alone can achieve this - it requires deep industry expertise, strong collaboration between both parties, and a shared vision,” underlines Frank Hadem, Head of TIPS, Projects & Services, Pulp, Paper & Fibre, Tieto Indtech.
Tieto’s Manufacturing Execution System, TIPS, plays a key role in this journey. Sustainability is built into the solution’s core, leveraging cloud optimization and efficient infrastructure to support Lecta in reducing its carbon footprint while improving operational efficiency.
