Ken Griffiths Joins Hussey Seating Company as Director of Special Projects

North Berwick, ME – On June 11th, Hussey Seating Company, a global leader in the design and manufacture of seating solutions, entered an agreement to acquire exclusive rights to the intellectual property, trademarks, designs, and tooling from Australian competitor Camatic Seating. Renowned for their high-quality and innovative design, the select purchasing of Camatic seating assets fills a critical gap in Hussey's product line, allowing the company to make rail-mounted exterior beam seating, considered the standard choice for new outdoor stadiums.

As the integration process begins, Hussey Seating Company is thrilled to announce the hiring of Ken Griffiths as Director of Special Projects. With an impressive 25 years of experience at Camatic Seating, Ken brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Hussey team.

During his tenure at Camatic, Ken was instrumental in developing several key product lines, including the Activa, Clarity, Forte, and Quantum seating enhancements. His innovative approach led to the widespread adoption of beam-mounted seating in North American stadiums and arenas, transforming it into the product of choice for some of the country's biggest venues.

He is particularly proud of his work on the Activa and Quantum Slat-back range of chairs, as well as his involvement in high-profile projects including nine NFL stadiums—such as Soldier Field, Dallas Cowboys, and SoFi Stadiums—and eight MLS stadiums, including those of the San Jose Earthquakes, Orlando Soccer, and Cincinnati FC.

Ken's "superpowers" lie in his hard work, hands-on approach, and unwavering passion for understanding customer needs. These skills have driven his success and will be invaluable in his new role, where he will be integral in integrating Camatic's product range into Hussey Seating Company's operations, ensuring the continued excellence and future evolution of these innovative products.

"Hussey's commitment to family values, problem-solving, and respect for employees aligns perfectly with my own professional ethos," said Ken Griffiths. "I am eager to work with a team that shares my passion for innovation and excellence in the marketplace." His insights into beam seating design and his direct knowledge of industry trends and emerging competitors position Hussey for continued success and growth.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome Ken Griffiths to our team," said Hussey's VP of Marketing & Sales Sean O'Leary. "His expertise and vision will play a pivotal role in advancing our product offerings and strengthening our market position while continuing our leadership in delivering world-class seating experiences."
