About KAB Seating
With a rich history rooted in the American seating company Bostrom, which was founded in 1935, KAB Seating was officially formed in 1984 through a management buyout. The company's journey began in the UK in the early 1960s, and since its acquisition by the Commercial Vehicle Group (CVG) in 2001, it has solidified its position as a global leader in the design and manufacture of durable and ergonomic suspension seating. The foundational mission of KAB Seating has always been to enhance the comfort, safety, and productivity of vehicle operators in demanding work environments.
The founders' vision was to provide superior, long-lasting seating solutions for a variety of commercial and industrial vehicles. This vision has been realized through a comprehensive product portfolio that includes a wide range of suspension seats for the construction, agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors. KAB Seating is also a key supplier to the bus and coach industry and has a specialized line of 24/7 office chairs designed for control centers and other intensive use environments.
From its headquarters in Northampton, UK, KAB Seating has established a significant global presence. As part of the Commercial Vehicle Group, the company has access to a worldwide network of manufacturing plants and distribution channels, with subsidiaries in Sweden, Belgium, Australia, North America, and France. This international reach allows KAB Seating to supply its high-quality, innovative seating solutions to major vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket customers in over 40 countries, ensuring that operators around the world can experience the comfort and safety of a KAB seat.
