Stimulus funds provide a boost for American Seating Company
GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - The economic stimulus package is working for one West Michigan company. Orders are climbing at American Seating and in the future the company might be adding jobs. The federal government recently announced federal stimulus grants to spend $55 million for transit. Some of that money is filtering down to American Seating, in Grand Rapids, which makes seats for busses.
A history of innovative solutions.
Our 120-year history shows a commitment to quality, comfort, durability and aesthetics. We’ve been around longer than most companies in our industry…or any industry, for that matter. When we opened our doors, Grover Cleveland was in office. We developed the world’s first tilt-back opera chair, and made a name for ourselves on a worldwide stage. Shortly after mass transportation was introduced, we began production on transportation seating solutions. Our history reflects our innovative, proactive approach.
