A West Midlands' company behind a revolutionary seating system that puts users in the comfort zone for travel is poised to diversify into the healthcare sector.

Seating Design & Development (SDD), based in Birmingham, are developers of the award-winning MouleTec seating concept, which has already been recognised in the aircraft, automotive, military and rail markets.
