With great care and craftsmanship, we have been building orthopaedic retrofit seats for the off-road and transport sectors in Germany since 1966. Driven by the heritage of motorsport, we transfer these high standards into our unique series of orthopaedic, functional, and design-oriented retrofit seats.
The company scheel-schalensitze was founded by Mr. Rolf Scheel in Stuttgart. As a racing driver, Rolf was dissatisfied with the flat seats at the time. He knew there was a better way and was determined to develop it. His breakthrough was a backrest shape that closely matched the curvature of the human spine, combined with a lateral support structure that kept the driver firmly connected to the machine. In collaboration with the then-prominent racing driver Mr. Hans Koster, Scheel further developed the unique design of the Scheel seat. The rest is history.
