Engineering Better Places to Sit.
SHEF combines commercial seating development with in-house mechanical engineering and precision manufacturing in Vadodara, Gujarat. Delivering integrated seating solutions for world-class entertainment, educational, and public environments.
Where Commercial Architecture Meets Mechanical Precision
Founded by Bhima Lingayat, Shree Hari Engineering & Fabrication (SHEF) originated as a precision engineering workshop supplying complex structural components and investment castings to heavy industrial clients.
Recognizing that India's expanding multiplex, cinema, and auditorium sectors were heavily reliant on delicate imported furniture kits or low-durability local fabrication, SHEF applied heavy industrial engineering standards to commercial public seating. Today, SHEF designs and builds chairs engineered from the steel chassis outward.
Our Manufacturing Capability & Plant
Located in the Makarpura Industrial Area of Vadodara, SHEF operates comprehensive metal stamping, cold-cure polyurethane foam molding, and robotic welding operations.
Structural Steel & Laser Fabrication
Heavy-gauge steel beam chassis, precision CNC press-brake bending, and robotic MIG welding ensuring 10+ year fatigue resistance under high cyclic loads.
Cold-Cured Polyurethane Molding
In-house closed-mold PU foam injection producing 60–65 kg/m³ density acoustic cushions that retain shape and ergonomic firmness over millions of cycles.
Architectural CAD & Sightline Engineering
Dedicated project engineering desk calculating C-values, tier riser heights, and aisle clearance codes directly from your architectural .DWG drawings.
Conveyorized Powder Coating
Multi-stage chemical pre-treatment and electrostatic thermoset powder coating offering 1,000+ hour salt-spray corrosion resistance.
How We Work: The SHEF Quality Standard
Our operational principles distinguish SHEF from brokers, importers, and catalog resellers.
Engineering Beyond the Surface
Commercial seating is not decorative furniture—it is life-safety infrastructure. We engineer internal steel linkages, counterweight gravity hinges, and fire-rated cores first.
100% In-House Domestic Manufacturing
Rather than rebranding imported kits, SHEF manufactures steel, foam, mechanisms, and powder-coated frames directly at our Vadodara campus.
Architectural & Acoustic Collaboration
We work directly alongside architects, acousticians, and theater consultants from schematic design through to on-site anchor installation.
Lifecycle Service & Rapid Spare Parts
Because all tooling and fabrication is domestic, spare motors, upholstery pads, and replacement hinges are dispatched in days, not months.
