The patent-pending Ellipse Bluetooth® Pedestal System redefines marine seating with app-controlled precision, 450 lbs of lifting force, customizable 15–19" height, and 4" fore-and-aft travel. Premium extruded aluminum, a modern oval profile, heavy-duty base, and multiple anodized finishes combine advanced control, durability, and refined OEM integration. Its engineered architecture unites connected actuation, structural performance, and premium industrial design in one integrated platform.

The X-Treme Low-Profile Slide/Swivel compresses 4" of fore-and-aft travel, 360° rotation, and 30° locking positions into a 1.3" profile. Its modular architecture allows slide and swivel functions to operate together or independently, while universal mounting patterns simplify OEM integration. Heavy-duty aluminum construction and contour-grip handles deliver strength, control, and greater helm design freedom with minimal added seat height.

The patent-pending Stowable Footrest rethinks marine seating ergonomics by placing full-size foot support where it consumes no permanent cockpit space. Concealed beneath the seat, it deploys to a 12–16" drop with a 10" x 15" anti-slip platform, then disappears completely when not required. The result is a cleaner, more adaptable seating architecture that improves comfort without compromising deck space, sightlines, or interior design.

The Shark FP4 redefines where shock mitigation can be integrated, delivering 4.5" of suspension travel and protection up to 6G in a 6.25" low-profile platform engineered for wider helm and recreational seating. Its compact, lightweight, non-corrosive architecture preserves sightlines and operator position, while broad mounting compatibility allows OEMs to bring advanced impact protection to seating configurations traditionally underserved by suspension systems.

NEXT GENERATION SEATING

Springfield Marine Company is a global supplier of marine seating, pedestal systems, seating hardware, and accessories. Since 1952, we have partnered with OEM boat builders to develop durable, innovative solutions from concept and engineering through tooling, validation, and full production. With Springfield-owned manufacturing in the U.S. and China, we support both custom programs and established product platforms—Making Boating Better.

According to Mike Folkerts, President of SPRINGFIELD MARINE, “Our mission is to Make Boating Better and for the last two years, we have focused on driving innovation on the product side, which will be evidenced by the numerous new products on display this year at IBEX and METS. With tariffs driving the cost of boating upwards, we feel the best way to Make Boating Better is to ensure that boating remains affordable.  With this expansion of our US manufacturing footprint and the addition of significant new manufacturing capabilities, we will bring innovation and efficiency to our manufacturing operations to lower costs.”

With the tariff impacts on Chinese manufactured products reaching 95% or more, the marine industry is seeing cost increases that, if not responded to, will drive boaters out of the market strictly due to cost. This investment, one of many responses that SPRINGFIELD MARINE is undertaking, will drive significant cost reductions through the re-shoring of a notable number of our product line, allowing SPRINGFIELD MARINE to eliminate the impact of the many tariffs affecting our products.

“Our China manufacturing facility and its team have, for the last three decades, positioned SPRINGFIELD MARINE as the high quality, low-cost leader in both the marine seating and seat hardware categories worldwide. The current tariff war, and particularly the 232 Tariffs on aluminum and steel, have added significant cost and supplying the US market from China is no longer cost effective. We will continue to operate our facility in China and service all non-US markets from that facility,” stated Caroline Carnahan, Owner of SPRINGFIELD MARINE.
