About the Company

HSM

Global manufacturer of integrated transportation components

HSM is a privately held global manufacturer that started with coiled springs for furniture and bedding and grew into an integrated supplier offering springs, foams, and assembled solutions such as bus seating through in-house processes. Its wire-drawing, foam production, and assembly capabilities let it control the supply chain from raw materials to finished parts. Unlike suppliers that only provide single components, HSM combines multiple capabilities under one roof and grows through strategic acquisitions, including its entry into bus seating via the C.E. White Company. The company aims to be a dependable, end-to-end partner for transportation, specialty manufacturing, and integrated solutions, pursuing steady growth and deep industry relationships.
