Phoenix and VersaStyle Seats Offer Improved Style, Comfort and Performance
Milsco Manufacturing, a Jason company (Nasdaq:JASN) (Nasdaq:JASNW) and a leader in the design and manufacture of seating solutions for the motorcycle, powersports, turf care, heavy equipment and agricultural markets, introduces two new product lines that deliver improved style, comfort and performance over previous generations. The introductions come as part of a robust product innovation initiative intended to reflect “voice of the customer” while reinforcing Milsco’s leadership position.
The new lines include the Phoenix, a next-generation static seat for the residential turf care market, and the VersaStyle seat series, which includes VersaCompact (replaces the 5300 seat), for the compact construction, material handling and commercial turf care markets; Versa Z, for zero turn radius mowers; VersaMax™, for mid-range construction equipment; and VersaPremium™, for heavier agricultural and construction equipment.
“Product innovation is a cornerstone in Milsco’s strategic priorities and the new Phoenix and VersaStyle lines exemplify that commitment,” said Fred Rheinlander, vice president of sales and business development. “These seats were born following extensive research that included benchmarking products available in the global marketplace, studying market trends and industry requirements, and asking our customers to list all the qualities they wish for in a seat. Through extensive field testing we have been able to validate that the products in these lines are world-class and establish a new benchmark in performance, durability and comfort.”
Seats in the VersaStyle line are the first to offer Milsco’s new, innovative and proprietary mechanical and air suspension systems. Standard features include backrest adjustment, lumbar control options and an intelligent ride indicator. Optional features include logo, backrest extension, heated seats and more.
