Industrial upholstery is a unique skill set that draws on a wide range of techniques to achieve both form and function. For each project, we carefully evaluate every detail to ensure a clean, precise finish—tight lines, crisp corners, and nothing out of place.
We work with a variety of materials including leather, leather alternatives, vinyl, and other high-performance textiles. These are expertly integrated with wood, padding, and hardware to produce a polished, durable product that meets your exact specifications.
Applications
- Consoles: Automotive, marine, and industrial consoles benefit from the precision and clean finish that professional upholstery provides.
- Seating: From industrial workstations to commercial seating, upholstered chairs and stools offer comfort, durability, and a professional appearance.
- Workout equipment: Benches, pads, and other fitness equipment are often upholstered for durability, comfort, and easy cleaning.
- Sound absorbing panels: Upholstered panels with proper material selection help reduce ambient noise in commercial, industrial, or institutional environments.
- Safety padding: Used in gyms, stadiums, and manufacturing plants, upholstered wall and column padding offers both protection and a clean, finished look to keep people safe without sacrificing aesthetics.

Aftermarket Car & Truck Consoles
After police vehicles are retired, they are sold to the public through aftermarket channels and don’t include center consoles. Nenno Products saw an opportunity to fill this gap, offering aftermarket consoles with cup holders, storage, and a comfortable armrest.
But their previous manufacturer struggled with quality control and delivery delays. Looking for a better partner, Nenno turned to us. They were drawn by our proven upholstery capabilities—and the added benefit of reduced lead times and shipping costs thanks to our shared Midwest location.
Time to Get to Work
We kicked things off with a collaborative design process. Nenno brought deep industry insight and strong woodworking expertise. Our engineering team developed a custom manufacturing method to seamlessly wrap vinyl and padding around the wood structure—delivering clean edges, tight upholstery, and a noticeably higher level of quality.
