One partner, the whole seat
The quality a passenger feels — comfort, lumbar support, how the seat holds up over time — doesn't come from a single component, but from how all of them work together. That's why we develop every element of the seating system in-house, ensuring technical consistency and single-source accountability for the finished product.
Vertically integrated supply chain
We run a vertical system across the entire value chain within our 7 production plants worldwide: from design to foams, from covers to structures, all the way to final assembly. A single point of contact controls every stage — fewer interfaces, less risk, shorter development times and consistent quality batch after batch.

foams, covers & structures in-house
Comfort
Measurable ergonomics
Foam density and lumbar geometry tuned for regional and intercity journeys, for comfort that stays consistent hour after hour.
Durability
Built for the lifecycle
Materials and structures engineered for high usage cycles and easy maintenance: cushions and trim replaceable without dismantling the whole seat.
Lightweighting
Optimized weight
Lightweight structures that cut mass per seat without compromising strength or safety — benefiting energy use and fleet efficiency.
Compliance
Rail standards
Engineered to fire-safety (EN 45545), ADA and Buy America requirements, with complete documentation for homologation.
Modular and customizable architecture
Our seating systems are modular by design: the same platform scales into multiple configurations by changing structure, cushioning, covers and accessories. This approach makes our customizable railway seats fast to adapt and cost-controlled, fitting the car and the identity of every operator. As train seat manufacturers, we turn the OEM's specification into a repeatable, certified industrial product.
One platform, every class of service
From business to premium, from intercity down to metro and regional: modularity lets us cover the full spectrum of rail transport with one consistent build logic, keeping comfort and durability at every service level.
A seat for every mission
Three examples from our range, from urban mobility to high-speed rail.
Robust, easy-to-clean seat for high-turnover urban mobility.
First class for a North American intercity train, with integrated power sockets.
Premium seat for European high-speed rail, extended comfort on long journeys.
Global footprint, Italian engineering
We operate plants in Italy, Germany, Mexico, Tunisia and the United States, serving some of the world's leading rolling stock manufacturers — including Alstom, Siemens, Bombardier and Deutsche Bahn. In the US we manufacture Buy America compliant seats in Sacramento for Amtrak's Siemens Venture fleet: Italian engineering and American manufacturing in the same product.
Rail vehicle seating solutions
Regional, intercity, metro, high-speed: we cover the full spectrum of rail transport with a turnkey approach and a concrete commitment to sustainability, measured through life-cycle assessment (LCA) of our products.
