Ferco Seating Systems was established in 1983 by CEO, Tim Barr. From humble beginnings supplying stadium seating, we have grown into one of the world's largest manufacturers of auditorium, cinema, education and sports spectator seating.
At Ferco, our commitment to friendly, professional customer service and unwavering attention to detail is reflected in everything we do. In-house design and manufacturing capability means we deliver design-led, world class seating and enables us to set trends rather than follow them.
Our state-of-the-art facility incorporates the latest technology and manufacturing methods with rigorous quality control. Our designers are creative problem solvers - they arrive at seating solutions that best fit our customer's venues. We love to talk design, aesthetics, solutions and functionality. This is our passion and it runs throughout our whole company.
We’re most proud of our people. All of them live by the belief that nothing is impossible. They’re here to inspire you. To help you create a space that in turn inspires and entertains your audiences.
In almost 40 years Ferco has grown into an international company with offices in the United Kingdom, manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, regional operations centres in Singapore and a network of agents in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim.
At Ferco Seating Systems our ethos has always been to exceed customer expectations, focus on design-led solutions and inspire our customers. Led by these core values we continue on our mission to be the world's preferred seating company.
