Hussey Seating Company Acquires Perma-Cap and Perma-Plank

    NORTH BERWICK, ME, September 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hussey Seating Company, a global leader in spectator seating, has announced the acquisition of Perma-Cap, a vinyl bleacher cover product line from Avcon (www.perma-cap.com) of Lakewood, NJ. Hussey Seating also acquired Avcon's Perma-Plank line of vinyl-covered steel bench seating. Perma-Cap and Perma-Plank offer proven, cost-effective solutions to extend the life of existing bleacher seating.

This acquisition makes perfect sense for Hussey because the products fit seamlessly with the company's existing service business and strategic growth plans. "In this era of tight school budgets, we recognize that many schools that would once replace bleachers are looking closely at repairing and retro-fitting instead," says CEO Tim Hussey. Hussey Seating Company's national network of Regional Service Centers already repair and renovate indoor bleachers nationwide, with many also catering to the outdoor grandstand market. Having Perma-Cap and Perma-Plank adds to their arsenal as solution providers for local school districts.

"Our regional dealers live and work in their communities, and they want to provide the best, most cost-effective solution for school equipment, whether that's a new bleacher or a repaired and upgraded one," Hussey says. "Adding Perma-Cap and Perma-Plank to our product line reflects the commitment to customer service we and our dealers proudly share."

A family-owned company founded in 1835, Hussey Seating Company is a world leader in developing and manufacturing seating solutions including facilities for the sports and education markets. Hussey's high quality range of spectator seating includes fixed plastic and upholstered chairs, telescopic platforms, and telescopic gym seating (traditionally known as bleachers).
