Be-Ge Seating A/S

Be-Ge Seating A/S develops, manufactures and markets passenger seats, as well as accessories and equipment for minibuses, vans and special vehicles. The company specialises in and leads the way in developing approved M1-certified seats and special high-quality products for vehicles intended for passenger transport, for people with or without disabilities, as well as ambulances, police and military vehicles.

Thanks to continuous investments in testing processes and testing equipment, new technology and product development, the company is one of the leaders in its industry. All tests and certifications of seats, floors and equipment for complete vehicles are performed in approved test facilities either at the company’s own factory in Frøstrup, Denmark or at a thirdparty institute.

The company is also responsible for sales of Be-Ge Seating companies’ product range of driver seats and office chairs in Denmark.

The past year

The year started strongly, and the first five months generated growth in sales compared with the previous year. Unfortunately, imbalances in the supply chains to the automotive industry resulted in delayed deliveries of new vehicles, which had a negative impact on demand for M1 seats. Deliveries improved during the winter, but later in February the situation escalated due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Overall, this resulted in a decrease in turnover for the year compared with the previous year. The company has developed and launched Jany Life Legs Dynamic, a system for quick release of wheelchairs from the floor, and updated the Jany Life Floor system.

During the year, an external wheelchair restraint system in combination with Jany Life Floor was tested and incorporated into Jany Life Floor’s test reports, which means that the two brands can be used together in M1 vehicles.

The 805 Police 1.0 seat model has been upgraded to a version 2.0, with improved space for the police officer’s personal equipment and a flexible belt anchorage system to allow more room for the gun. Ambulance versions of the 862 seat model have been fitted with an adjustable headrest as an option.

A Jany Express Delivery concept has been developed and taken into operation, which means that some of the standard seats can be ordered directly on Be-Ge’s website and dispatched within one working day of receiving the order.
