1) Compatico
created the aftermarket parts industry.
2) For over thirty years, office
furniture dealers, remanufacturers and refurbishers
have depended on Compatico for compatible parts.
3) Compatibility is with Steelcase®
Avenir®. We have thousands of customers
who are purchasing parts specifically to integrate
with existing OEM systems.
4) Power connection with existing
Steelcase® Avenir® is not possible.
A new power in-feed must be introducted to add
to existing OEM product. All Compatico power is
from Byrne Electric (Rockford, Michigan), a leading supplier to major OEM manufacturers.
