About Sears
Established in 1855 by Isaac Howe Sears in Davenport, Iowa, Sears Seating has a rich history that began with crafting high-quality saddles and harnesses for the agricultural industry. This foundational commitment to quality and craftsmanship has been the driving force behind the company's evolution. With the mechanization of agriculture, Sears Seating astutely transitioned to producing seats for this burgeoning market, introducing the first mechanical suspension seat for agricultural vehicles in 1965, a testament to its innovative spirit.
The founder's vision of providing durable and comfortable solutions for hardworking individuals has remained at the core of the company's philosophy for over 165 years and across five generations. Today, Sears Seating's product portfolio includes a wide range of technologically advanced suspension and non-suspension seating for the agricultural, construction, forestry, industrial, and heavy-duty trucking industries. As a leading manufacturer, Sears Seating is dedicated to delivering operator comfort and promoting health through its precisely engineered and rigorously tested products.
From its headquarters in Davenport, Iowa, Sears Seating has grown into a global enterprise. The company's international presence includes a European headquarters in the United Kingdom, a joint venture in China, and operations in Brazil and Japan, allowing it to serve a diverse international clientele. This worldwide network, combined with a commitment to providing superior seating solutions, has solidified Sears Seating's reputation as a trusted partner to major OEMs like John Deere, Caterpillar, and Mack Trucks.
