TOLLAND, CT, Dec 11, 2017 – Vehicle design and manufacturing is a culmination of complex work processes especially when a company serves multiple brands and models. Implementing technology to manage these processes is imperative to manage a global network and succeed in the market place. “Implementing AccuMark across our design centers allows us to more effectively collaborate with our colleagues to design and manufacture goods more efficiently and precise,” said Emmanuel Delfavero, CAD expert for seat covers at Faurecia.
