Adrian Jules Digitizes Their End-To-End Workflow With Gerber Technology

Luxury Custom Clothier Combines Innovative 3D Technology and Tradition

New York, NY /PRNewswire/ - Adrian Jules Ltd, an established bespoke design house and tailoring outfit based in Rochester, NY, has transformed their 55-year-old business offering the finest hand-made garments in America through a deep and personal partnership with Gerber Technology, the industry leader in the apparel and textile technology space, by digitizing their entire process -- from design to cutting -- by integrating Gerber Technology's AccuMark® 3D & 2D CAD software, Gerber's AccuNest™, and the GERBERcutter® Z1 for production-ready, made-to-measure garments.

Darren Beaman, Senior Director of Technical Design and Production Director, outlined how they transformed their business and found the ultimate balance between old-world tradition and cutting-edge technology including 3D. With a 10% savings in material utilization and 75% time savings for faster manufacturing productivity, Adrian Jules sees embracing technology as a no-brainer. Mr. Beaman added, "we've gone from 20 samples per year, down to 5," representing a significant cost savings for the company.

3D has not only been instrumental in bringing the business into a brand-new technological era, but it has also been crucial to operations due to the present day geopolitical challenges of COVID-19. In a matter of days, Adrian Jules was able to convert to mask and PPE production -- all with the aid of AccuMark 3D. Thanks to embracing Gerber's end-to-end technology, Beaman was able to bring Adrian Jules to the front lines of the important fight against the current pandemic.

"55 years ago we used paper, pencil and old wooden rulers...now, we're using the most innovative technology available to the industry. For someone who is a technical director, this is very exciting for me" said Beaman, commenting on their success in adopting Gerber's suite of end-to-end solutions. "We've been working with Gerber for over five years. I feel privileged to be part of the Gerber family and am excited to see AccuMark 3D and it is so easy to use."

Adrian Jules now attributes their success to being a tech-forward company, while still maintaining the core values put in place by its founder generations ago.
