OEM Compatibility
- Compatico created the aftermarket parts industry.
- For over thirty years, office furniture dealers, remanufacturers and refurbishers have depended on Compatico for compatible parts.
- Compatibility is with Steelcase® Avenir®. We have thousands of customers who are purchasing parts specifically to integrate with existing OEM systems.
- 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.
