About Milsco
Milsco, founded in 1924 as the Milwaukee Saddlery Company, began with a focus on manufacturing leather harnesses and accessories for farm horses. The brand's foundational mission quickly evolved beyond equestrian gear when, in 1934, Harley-Davidson approached them to create a two-passenger motorcycle seat. This marked a pivotal moment, shifting Milsco's core value to pioneering comfortable and durable seating solutions for diverse applications. The foresight of founder Carl Swenson, and those who followed, was instrumental in recognizing the nascent demand for ergonomic and specialized seating, moving from traditional saddlery to innovative automotive and industrial seating.
Today, Milsco is a leading supplier of suspended and static seating solutions, encompassing a wide range of designs for demanding environments. Their product offerings cater to heavyweight motorcycles, turf care equipment (like lawnmowers), heavy industrial machinery (including construction and agricultural vehicles), material handling equipment, and powersports vehicles. Milsco seats are engineered with advanced materials and technologies to provide superior comfort and durability, crucial for operator safety and productivity during long hours.
