With new ownership, I have joined an incredible team of managers, engineers, designers, and craftsmen of the finest, most sought after helm chairs and seating in the marine industry. Our goal is to continue Llebroc's legacy of innovative design, unmatched quality, and unwavering customer support, while scaling our business to meet growing customer demand. Having spent my career in manufacturing, I can add, there is nothing more rewarding than to see our seats on some of the most respected boat brands in the industry. What an incredible team!
