Muirhead is celebrating a new chapter with its seat cover service. Now a one-stop solution for seat cover services, Muirhead will manage every detail in-house from leather production to finished seat covers, for a seamless process.

Finished seat covers from Muirhead remove complexity from the customer’s supply chains, making Muirhead a single point of responsibility for product delivery and quality. With its in-house production, Muirhead aims to shorten lead times, eliminating delays with faster turnarounds and readily available replacement parts. The use of AI-driven cutting technology further reduces waste and maximizes yield while bespoke lamination enhances the durability of the product. Muirhead undertakes rigorous "pre-stress" testing to simulate real-world conditions to ensure reliability.

“Unlike fabrics or synthetics, leather demands specialized craftsmanship and technical expertise to achieve the fit and performance required in aviation – expertise often missing in traditional supply chains. At Muirhead, we’re proud to have integrated every step of this process under one roof – ensuring airlines benefit from a seamless, accountable solution and the unrivalled quality that only comes from working with a dedicated leather specialist,” said Martin Longden, Head of Cabin Engineering, Muirhead. 

Nicholas Muirhead, CEO, Scottish Leather Group, said, "This achievement is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and dedication of our entire team. Bringing this vision to life has been nothing short of remarkable, and I couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished together. I’m excited to share more at the upcoming Aircraft Interiors Expo, where the team and I will showcase the art of the possible and explore how we can elevate your cabin interiors."

Muirhead will be exhibiting at AIX 2025 in Hamburg, Germany.
