Elevate Aircraft Seating GmbH

Elevate Aircraft Seating makes business class seats for airlines. The company was founded in 2018 under the name Adient Aerospace. It became Elevate Aircraft Seating in 2025, and the site says it now has about 1,000 employees. It is a subsidiary of The Boeing Company.

The site says the company has manufacturing facilities in California and Germany. Its first product, the Ascent business class suite, was certified in 2020. Ascent Narrow-Body brings the same design to single aisle aircraft. Altitude is a narrow body seat with a row to row design that can be set at a reduced pitch.

The Summit suite is a forward facing lie-flat seat launched in 2026. The site says the company introduced Summit at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. The seat is described as a forward facing suite that brings a calm approach to business class travel.

The site names Air India as a customer. In January 2026 Air India unveiled a Boeing 787 cabin with Ascent business class suites. The site says the company won its first Airbus programs in 2022. It reached Airbus linefit approval and Part 145 status in 2024.

The site says the seats undergo testing with a focus on ergonomics. The company has an occupational health and safety management system certified to ISO 45001. Its design work is German, and the site lists craftsmanship as a focus at every stage of development.

In December 2025 the company won a RedCabin Trinity Award for sustainability. The project was run with The Boeing Company, Botany Weaving and LanzaTech. It turns waste carbon into aircraft cabin textiles.
