Global experts in maritime seating
Since 1976 Cleemann Chair-Systems has built highly functional, comfortable helmsman and operator chairs for shipyards and owners worldwide — from commercial bridges to navy craft and professional simulators.
The company
Purpose-built when the standard does not fit
Cleemann specialises in ergonomic seating for navy ships, rescue boats, workboats, luxury yachts and commercial vessels. Every chair is manufactured to ISO quality standards and to the rules of major classification societies and defence regulations.
From Ense, near the Ruhr industrial region, we work with trading partners and agents worldwide. When a catalogue model is not enough, SolidWorks 3D design turns a wheelhouse constraint into a production-ready seat.
Twelve reasons
Why a Cleemann seat
A naming system that already states the spec: Pro for comfort and ergonomics, Star for heavy-duty suspension. The rest is built around the watchkeeper.
Armrests
Adjustable, foldable, or built as full operator consoles.
Seat depth
Variable depth for different body sizes and watch lengths.
Height
Infinite seat-top height adjustment, mechanical or electric.
Seat angle
Fine angle control for a stable working posture.
Fore / aft
Length adjustment of the seat top on the column.
Footrest
Foldable, height- and angle-adjustable footrests.
Backrest
Recline and lumbar support as standard on key models.
Rotation
360° swivel with defined locking positions.
Column
Heavy-duty lifting columns for commercial and naval duty.
Deck rail
Mechanical or electrical travel while remaining seated.
Ramp frame
Aluminium ramp frames for flush deck integration.
Selected range
Chairs for the bridge
Helmsman chairs, shock-mitigating operator seats, custom command stations and deck rails — one manufacturer, one interface to the ship.
How the names work
Symbol guide
The naming of our seats already includes the most important features. Nautic Pro, for example, offers a high level of comfort and ergonomic design. Nautic Star features a heavy-duty suspension unit.
