History

After a brief career as a chemical engineer, Charles McCourt purchased a general equipment rental store. It was the first of six rental stores located in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.  They were so successful, Mr. McCourt sold each to its respective manager.  This freed him to pursue the manufacturing of a lightweight folding chair able to withstand the rental industry.  In 1983, McCourt Manufacturing began producing the Series 2 Polypropylene Folding Chair in the heart of America; Fort Smith, Arkansas.  McCourt Manufacturing has since produced our 5 millionth chair and introduced many lines of folding tables and stackable stationary chairs that, like our folding chairs, are designed for markets where hard usage is the norm rather than the exception.  Today the Series 5TM stackable folding chair is the last chair of this kind to be manufactured completely in the USA!
