Our Story
Functional, timeless, refined
scheel-mann USA proudly brings the finest German aftermarket seating solutions to North America. Started in 1966 by racing driver and automotive enthusiast Rolf Scheel, today they are still made in the same factory they've been made in since the '60's. For us it's been an incredible journey, learning how to make people comfortable while driving and better able to enjoy their trips.
scheel-mann has a history steeped in motorsports and authenticated as original equipment to some of the most sought-after sports sedans ever created. While that history is integral to our heritage and current product development, it's not really the point. At the end of the day we produce seats that have a very particular function - to support your body in a way that relieves stress and strain so you can focus on driving and enjoy your journey.
Just because it's a luxury, doesn't mean you don't need it
Whether you drive for work, fun, or necessity you can always appreciate and benefit from properly fitted equipment. Ergonomics isn't only about relieving back pain, and comfort isn't just a cushy seat.
A properly fit and positioned seating system places your hands and feet at the perfect location for maximum control. Arm rests relieve your shoulders. Lumbar supports position your spine and properly engage your core. Side bolters secure you in place and telegraph how the vehicle is responding to your inputs. Comfort is not a luxury - fatigue leads to poor decisions, improper fitment reduces control leading to mistakes, and pain leads to long term physical impediments.
At the end of the day an automobile is just a tool. Maybe you use that tool to make a living, or connect point a to point b, or perhaps it's a tool for pure driving enjoyment. However you use an automobile, the proper ergonomics of a scheel-mann seating system will make that experience more enjoyable.
Seats, perfected.
