option of producing and supplying
approved standard seat cushions within
short timescales. The fast response time
helps minimise delivery risks significantly
for customers.
TESTING AND CERTIFICATION
To ensure maximum safety, all
components of an aircraft seat must
withstand enormous loads. Greiner
carries out all relevant safety checks for
cushions and dresscovers, such as fire
and stress tests, at its in-house test
centre. In addition, Greiner is an EASAcertified
production company (POA)
and is therefore authorised to issue
EASA Form 1 certificates (certificates
of airworthiness).
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
In response to the demand for lower
weight in aircraft seats, in 2018
Greiner brought to market a seat
cushion with a load-bearing structure.
Rods integrated in the foam replace the
seat pan or the membrane, thus enabling
a significant weight reduction. The
improved integrated force discharge of the
cushion also increases passenger safety.
Easier handling and improved ease of
maintenance can also lead to a significant
reduction in staff costs during
maintenance operations. The components
of the structural seat cushion can easily
be separated from each other, thus
guaranteeing optimum recyclability.
Sustainability is a key issue at Greiner
and that is why the company is already
thinking one step ahead, not least so it
can offer customers other forward-looking
solutions. For example, Greiner is currently
working on the development of an
intelligent seat cushion that will enable
predictive maintenance and other
features. These innovations will be
presented at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2020
in Hamburg.

covers. Whether leather, material or
synthetic leather, with or without
lamination, the company’s sewing
factories in Europe and the USA can
produce all popular manufacturing
versions in the highest quality thanks
to excellent skills in terms of materials
and implementation.
INSPIRING WITH SERVICES
Greiner’s range of services extends far
beyond innovative seat cushions and
covers. Greiner offers a number of services
which help customers and partners to
save time and costs.
The assembling service, for example,
which brings together cushions and
covers, promises significant simplification
of the purchasing process. After all, this
means there is no longer any need to work
with several suppliers. The service also
offers considerable potential for savings
in terms of logistics costs.
With the premium fast-track service,
Greiner provides customers with fast,
straightforward support if there is a
possibility that obligations cannot be
met despite detailed project planning.
In such situations, Greiner offers the
