Shark Seating

Founded in 2011, Shark Seating has developed innovative marine suspension seating and shock mitigation systems aimed at reducing injuries from wave impacts. The company’s core principles of simplicity, modularity, and versatility guide its product designs. Shark's first major client was the New Zealand Navy in 2013, leading to the development of the FLEX suspension unit, which revolutionized shock mitigation in high-speed vessels. By 2015, Shark Seating gained recognition in the America’s Cup, supplying seats for Emirates Team New Zealand and later for SailGP. The company has expanded its reach globally, leveraging partnerships to make its products available through major distributors. Shark Seating's proprietary material, FLEXANITE™, ensures durability and lightweight performance, making it suitable for various marine environments. The company continues to innovate and aims to set a standard for shock mitigation seating across the maritime industry.
