Expliseat

Expliseat is a French industrial manufacturer specialising in the design and production of ultra-lightweight seating for the commercial aviation sector. The company positions itself as a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier within the cabin interiors segment, focusing on weight reduction to lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Its primary products involve high-performance materials including titanium and carbon fibre composites. The firm provides seating solutions for both narrow-body and regional aircraft, with its TiSeat series being a core offering. Notable customers and partners include Air France, Alaska Airlines, and regional carriers operating ATR aircraft. The company maintains technical partnerships with airframe manufacturers and seat integrators to ensure compatibility with various cabin configurations and safety certifications for platforms such as the Airbus A320 family and ATR 42/72 series. Prospective buyers or partners should verify the specific Technical Standard Order (TSO) certifications held for particular seat models and their compatibility with specific aircraft type certificates. It is also necessary to confirm lead times for bespoke trim and finish requirements, as well as the availability of global maintenance and repair services for the lightweight mechanical components used in their patented structures.
