Best Seats, Best Workplace: Hussey Honored in Maine

Hussey Seating recognized as Best Places to Work in Maine for the 4th time since 2019

North Berwick, Maine — March 17, 2026

Hussey Seating Company, a seventh-generation Maine manufacturer and global leader in spectator seating solutions, is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2025 Best Places to Work in Maine list. This recognition marks Hussey’s fourth time being named to the list since 2019 and marks another meaningful milestone for the 190-year-old family business, underscoring its continued commitment to building a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

The Best Places to Work in Maine initiative, managed by the Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group, identifies employers who excel in creating outstanding workplace cultures. Selections are based on an extensive evaluation of company policies and practices and, most importantly, anonymous employee surveys that account for 75% of the total score.

“For nearly two centuries, the success of Hussey Seating has come down to one thing: our people,” said Brian Deveaux, President & CEO. “Being recognized as one of Maine’s Best Places to Work affirms what we strive for every day…a workplace where employees feel respected, supported, and connected to a mission bigger than themselves.”

Rich Hussey, Vice President of Human Resources, added: “This honor is especially meaningful because it’s driven by feedback directly from our employees. Their voices help shape the programs, benefits, and culture we build, and their trust is what fuels our continued growth. We participate in this program every year because listening and improving is core to who we are.”

Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, Managing Director of BridgeTower Media for the East Division, noted: “The organizations on this year’s list understand the power of communication, flexibility, inclusivity, and appreciation. They put people first, and it shows.”

Building a Workplace Where People Thrive

At Hussey Seating, employees describe their work as purpose-driven, collaborative, and deeply rooted in Maine values. With opportunities to learn and advance, robust wellness and benefits programs, community-focused initiatives, and a culture that values craftsmanship as much as innovation, the company continues to attract people who want to build something that lasts professionally and personally.

As one of Maine’s largest manufacturing employers, Hussey Seating is currently investing in new hiring initiatives, leadership development, and workforce training programs to support the next generation of makers, engineers, designers, and problem-solvers.
