Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 17, 2017 – Milsco Manufacturing Co., a division of Jason Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:JASN and JASNW) has launched significant new seating platforms for Mahindra North America (MNA), the world leader in tractor sales.

Milsco will manufacture seats for Mahindra’s compact, mid-sized and full-sized utility tractor platforms for 10 models spanning both open and cab designs. Milsco’s contract includes significant volume over three years.

Said Mike Hynes, Vice President & General Manager Turf Care and Heavy Industry at Milsco, “We are proud to partner with Mahindra NA. Our industrial designers and engineers incorporated the distinct Mahindra branding into the aesthetic features of each these seats. We are one of the few seating manufacturers able to create seating that fully reflects the distinct Mahindra brand.”

The successful partnership with Mahindra resulted from Milsco’s ability to rapidly prototype tangible samples that allow Mahindra and Milsco to quickly personify what the OEM needs in order to meet dealer demand. Milsco began manufacturing the seats from its Redgranite facility in September.

“We value the contributions of dedicated partners such as Milsco; they are instrumental to Mahindra’s success in North America. When faced with the challenge of producing a seating platform that would provide industry-leading comfort, function and design, Milsco stepped up and delivered a home run,” said Mani Iyer, President & CEO, Mahindra NA. “We debuted our new seats at Mahindra’s National Dealer Meeting earlier this month to great reviews from our dealers. We look forward to putting our customers in this all-new driver’s seat.”
