More About Scheel-Mann

Few names are as well known in automobile seat industry as Scheel-Mann. A company dating back over 100 years, the company began as a small metal-components manufacturer in 1922, developing a name for reliable, quality worksmanship. In 1966 the company found a new trajectory when German racing car driver Rolf Scheel, dissatisfied with the squirrelly flat seats of that era, developed what we now know as the bucket seat. Engineered to more closely match the curvature of the spine, and with lateral support to provide security in corners, this new seat transformed the driving experience for more than just race car drivers.

More than just an industry pioneer, Scheel-Mann seats became one of the most highly respected and ground-breaking names in the sport car, rally, and racing worlds. Scheel-Mann USA was created in 2016 to bring these impressive examples of trusted and proven German engineering to American vehicles – including the adventure camper van market. Scheel-Mann seats have redefined comfort, safety, and quality for aftermarket seating across multiple markets, and make an ideal option for your Sprinter, Transit, or Promaster conversion van.
