STER Europe – part of STER Group, manufacturing passenger seats since 1993.

It started in 1965 with gas heating boilers – not exactly where you’d expect a seat manufacturer to come from. Today we design and build passenger seats for buses, trains, and metros used across Europe, still made in Poland.

Everything we sell
in Europe is made here.

From the first bus seat produced in 1993, through our entry into the American market in 1998, to our current presence in 5 regions of the world — our history is one of consistent development in passenger seating technology.

Our story begins in 1965, in a small Polish workshop producing gas heating boilers — at a time when more seemed impossible than possible.

Models categories

From dense urban public transport to long-distance train routes — our catalogue covers the full range of public transport. Each category is designed with a specific operational profile in mind: a city bus with passenger turnover every few hundred metres has different requirements compared to a sleeper carriage on a long-distance train.

Replaceable clip for upholstery inserts

We design our chairs with real operating costs in mind, not just the purchase price. The construction solutions allow for quick and inexpensive replacement of upholstery components in the event of damage—without the need to replace the entire chair. For a fleet operator with hundreds of vehicles, this translates into tangible savings spread over years of use.

Circular production in design

Chairs designed to serve, be recycled, and re-enter circulation.

Our seating solutions are created based on circular economy principles. From the very first design stage, every material is selected with reuse or recycling in mind after its lifecycle ends. Plastics, metals, and fabrics retain their value and return to the production process instead of becoming waste.

This approach extends resource lifecycles, reduces environmental impact, and ensures modern fleets are built on a foundation of true ecological responsibility.

We make the seat nobody notices.
That is the whole point of it.
