American Seating exhibited a robust lineup of passenger-seating solutions during the 2017 APTA Expo this Oct. 9-11 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
“We’re creating a true transportation experience for visitors to our expo booth,” American Seating President Tom Bush said. “People can step into a display designed like a section of a transit vehicle and really experience our products — how they look, work, feel and perform as well as how they integrate with technology.”
The American Seating solutions that were exhibited included:
- A city service display featuring American Seating’s InSight and Vision seats
- A motorcoach display featuring American Seating’s Premier seat as well as seats from its 2000 Series, including the 2096 belted recliner
- A light-rail train display featuring American Seating’s InSight and Metropolitan seats
- A securment display featuring American Seating’s Q’POD and Rear-Facing Barrier with Secura Lateral Arm (displayed with InSight and Vision seats)
Additionally, there were two raised, rotating bases in the booth featuring:
- INSIGHT-PRIME and INSIGHT-PRIME+
- Vision and Vision-NU
New company video
A large screen mounted atop a counter area in the center of American Seating’s booth featured the company’s new video. With a nod to American Seating’s deep roots as a longtime Michigan-based company with an American workforce, the video focuses on the people who produce products for North American customers.
American Seating has produced passenger seating and related solutions for the North American transportation market since 1931. The company has been in existence since 1886.
“It’s about the people who make these products, and the people whom we make them for,” Bush said. “Everything we do revolves around a deep desire to understand people. We listen, ask questions, explore new solutions and design specifically for the North American population. We want to make people’s transportation experiences better.”
