Muirhead Business Class seat covers
Muirhead is now a one-stop solution for seat cover services and will manage every detail in-house, from leather production to finished seat covers, for a seamless process.
"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,” Nicholas Muirhead, CEO, Scottish Leather Group, tells PAX Tech.
Finished seat covers from Muirhead remove complexity from the customer’s supply chains, making the supplier 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,” explains Martin Longden, Head of Cabin Engineering, Muirhead.
Muirhead is exhibiting at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2025 in Hamburg, Germany at Stand 6E95.
