Sheridan Seating was established in 1978 as a small, family-run gymnasium equipment manufacturer.
Since then, we’ve been designing, manufacturing and innovating new seating solutions for venues across North America.
Manufacturing out of our home plant in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, we bring that hometown conscientiousness to everything we do.
From delivering the best seats in the house for every venue to cheering on the home team in towns from coast to coast, we’re proud to partner with our clients to deliver telescopic seating solutions that fit.
In early 2023, Sheridan Seating welcomed the beginning of a new future when the company changed ownership.
With a renewed commitment to our strategic direction and desire to better service our customers and dealers, Sheridan Seating is now directed by:

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
Working with the Sheridan team was a very smooth process. The technicians are well experienced and understood my requirements thoroughly.
We have had our stage going on five years now and appreciate the ease and flexibility of one person turning a key to put the stage up or down. We use it several times a week, especially for our Sunday morning kids program. The stage is sturdy enough to have a team of musicians and workers bouncing around on it. Sheridan did an excellent job installing and annually serving our stage.
It was an amazing experience from defining the initial specifications to delivery and installation. Our customers are over the moon with how the end product (retractable stage) came out.
The stage is an incredible piece of engineering, and we look forward to using it as often as possible. The workers who put it together were extremely polite and installed the stage cleanly and in a timely manner.
