With Matthew Lukan and Noel Dabelstein as owners and directors, Styleride Seating Systems started in early 1996 with the first delivery of seats in May of that year. This was preceded with an exhaustive research, development and testing period to introduce new products to the industry in line with the opportunities identified in a comprehensive market research project.

The company consistently listens to our customers and these relationships have driven innovation and product development since that time and the results have been quite remarkable. To the year ended June 2009, thirteen years later, the company has averaged 20% growth per annum and now prides itself in being an established member of the industry both in Australia and New Zealand.

Milestones along the way include moving into our manufacturing facility in Success Street, realizing the benefits from capital investments in factory tooling, CNC machinery and robotics together with substantial investments in computer manufacturing software and 3D CAD design software. In our research and development program we have registered several designs and patents.

Some years ago Styleride met the requirements of ISO 9001 and recently was audited to ISO 9001:2008. Importantly we are also accredited with meeting the requirements of Worksafe Warranty Health and Management Standard. This would not have been possible without the support of our customers and the dedication of our staff for which we are greatly appreciative and we look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead within this important industry.
