O
n your next flight, let your seatmate
know about the Spokane legacy sur-
rounding you on the aircraft. Inside an
aircraft there are hundreds of products
from many vendors from Washington
State – Multifab in Spokane Valley man-
ufactures a good number of them.
Whether sitting comfortably in first
class, or squeezed into coach class on a
Boeing 737, Multifab products are all
around. The thermoformed seat backs in
gray or off-white, with netted magazine
holders and tray tables, are the first point
of contact for Multifab products. The
seat backs, very familiar to our knees,
are lightweight pressure-formed thermo-
plastics made to specifications outlined
by the airline. The leather-clad seat
components on many aircraft are sewn
by qualified industrial seamstresses in
Multifab’s Spokane Valley factory.
