Emeco was founded in 1944 by Wilton C Dines. Emeco`s manufacturing process is the result of a collaboration with ALCOA to develop a seaworthy chair for millitary use. Emeco is the only company in the world using the exclusive trademarked processto produce the chairs. The specially treated aluminum alloy material is rust - free, lightweight, and touch enough, legend has it, to survive a torpedo blast. A 77-step process transforms chairs from rough frame to sculptured masterwork
