The USSC Group, an Exton-based manufacturer that designs and engineers world-class seating for many types of vehicles, plans to increase the size of its facility and the number of its employees, writes Alison Burdo in the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The company is purchasing the Bose Ride manufacturing assets from Boston-based ClearMotion and will now have the exclusive license to the algorithms and technology for the markets it serves.

Developed by Bose Corp., Bose Ride is a seat system technology that counteracts street bumps, potholes, and other issues so drivers have up to a 94 percent reduction in vibration and road noise, helping to improve safety for drivers.

This purchase, combined with growth in other parts of the company, like in its bus fire suppression systems division, will drive the need for more manufacturing space and workers.

Currently based out of a 136,000-square-foot facility on Gordon Drive in Exton, the company will soon also occupy a 300,000-square-foot property across the street.

The company has 200 employees and is looking to add another 190.

The USSC Group is comprised of the United States Seating Co., Fogmaker North America, Valor Seating, and Global Seating Systems. Each branch designs and manufacturers safety and survivability products for the transit, military, and first-responder markets.
