Hussey Seating acquires Ill. firm
A North Berwick seating company has acquired an Illinois company that it says will help it grow beyond its core markets.
Hussey Seating, a 175-year-old family business, recently bought Clarin Seating, based in the Chicago area, and will move the manufacturing operation to Maine as soon as possible, according to a press release from the company. By fall, Clarin's operation will move to Maine, bringing a net gain of jobs to North Berwick, a Hussey spokesman told Mainebiz.
The two companies focus on the school and sports facility markets, creating a range of seats for stadiums, entertainment venues and churches, according to the release. Hussey manufactures more than 500,000 seats a year from its facility in North Berwick. Clarin is known for making portable seats for gyms, arenas, theaters and casinos, as well as fixed tabletops for schools.
