Sixty years ago, in Youngstown Ohio, Gasser chair was founded by brothers Louis, Roger, and
George Gasser. Early on, manufacturing ranged from furniture to aluminum beer kegs.
Eventually, Gasser focused on high quality seating.
In 1949, Gasser showed off their products at the National Restaurant Association Convention,
which brought them into the hospitality fold. The 1950's saw Gasser grow; in fact, Gasser
furnished the United States Senate Dining Room in 1958.
Initially Gasser catered to military clubs around the world, since then the company reached
has expanded to all corners of hospitality, especially the gaming industry.
The Gasser family takes great pride in their hands-on involvement. The family still has a
place in every department of the 200-employee company.
Over the last six decades, Gasser innovation has included industry firsts such as flexible
brackets to connect seat and backrests; the first ten-year banquet chair warranty and the
addition of casters and swivels for mobility.
What makes Gasser good in 2006? "A chair manufactured by Gasser is built with 60 years of
manufacturing history, talent & skill, based on philosophies instilled by the founders and
now carried through with the second generation," according to Cindy Gasser, Vice President.
She adds "our high level of quality standards combined with dilligent follow-up service
generally exceeds customer expectations."
