If you’ve ever ridden in a bus, sat in a

desk, enjoyed a performance or been to a

ballpark, chances are you’ve sat in a seat

made by American Seating.

Chances are, your parents, grandparents

and maybe great-grandparents have too.

Our story begins in 1886 and weaves

through the Gilded Age and the Great

Depression, through two world wars and

the civil rights movement, through urbanism

and industrialism and environmentalism.

And everything in between.

Our story starts in Grand Rapids, Michigan,

but it stretches across America.

And no matter what era we’ve lived through

or area we’ve been to, our focus has been

to make seating for everyday people, for

just about every public setting imaginable:

schools, colleges, offices, courtrooms,

convention centers, ballparks, stadiums,

arenas, theaters, churches, buses and trains.

Our products are made in America by

members of UAW Local 135.

Welcome to our walk through history:

the first 125 years!
